    I love how that article talks about what a lousy job Cosell did broadcasting Ali-Spinks I, when Howard wasn't even in Las Vegas, and the match wasn't even broadcast on his network. Michael Marley comes off looking like a typical pathologically lying ass of a lawyer. (Boxingconfidential.com must be an incredible mass of uselessly false information and garbage, a real **** hole to have a stupid jerk like this running it.)

    I think this is roughly translated as Leon Spinks being the only man who beat Ali AND took his title in the ring. Not the first man to beat him in the ring per se.
