    If Spinks had only trained for the second fight, who knows how history would've turned out.

    If Spinks trained as lackadaisically as he was rumored to have trained for the second Ali fight, he still fought fairly well in terms of his aggression. Ali did his best to avoid a fight; he just danced and moved around for 15-rounds. But I still find it hard to believe that Ali could lose to a guy with so little fighting experience. That had to be monumentally embarrasing for the Greatest!
