Was he a full time fighter too or did he stop to support his brother career? And if he was, why wasn't he as good as his brother, I seldom hear him talked about. Leon gets much more love than Rahman, why is that?
You asking why one time undisputed hwt champion Leon Spinks gets more love than Ali’s hanger-on brother?
Rachman wasn't terrible. they asked Dundee about him once, and he said something like "he had all of the boxer's moves, but no reflexes." This content is protected
Nice smaller heavy, he boxed better then I thought, if he had a punch he might have made more of an impact on the game.
"No reflexes? means "can't box." Roger and O'dell Leonard were national Olympic champs in their teens, and decent pros. O'dell even had a title at 168 for a hot minutes, but in their late teens their 14 year old brother Ray was kicking their rears in the basement ring. A family only gets so much talent. Seems to work better with twins.
