    Hi William. Spinks could n't cut off the ring as well as Foreman could.

    I guess pre suspension Ali will get away because of his speed. And later Ali will have a good plan to deal with a pressure fighter like Spinks. + for me Leon is not quite in the same league as Kenny Norton. Neither in athletics nor boxing wise.

    That was a reverie. I didn't mean it to sound I was comparing Spinks to Foreman. I really had just thought of that thing about Foreman and so I said it.

    Could well have done. The young Cassius Clay who had his maiden fight in 1960 had only six pro bouts less than the neophyte Leon Spinks. Not much when you think about it.
