    Leon Spinks over Muhammad Ali.Larry and Marvin had faded, but many refuse to acknowledge that.

    Leon Spinks drew with Scott LeDoux before a nationwide television audience after Ali made what proved to be his final successful title defense against Shavers. There was nothing to suggest that the man who drew with the then sputtering LeDoux (who himself was coming off a stoppage by Bobick in eight) could somehow upset the GOAT.
