    Spinks, Klitschko, Canizales, Ruelas, Donaire, Fullmer, Sims, Norris, Tate, I think most brotherly sets I'm fans of as a whole.

    I'll always be a fan of his for that classic quote.

    I definitely preferred Robbie Sims over that brother of his (I forget his name...).

    That time he came to his brother’s defense against Joe Frazier & nearly got a left hook for his troubles LOL.

    “You in this, too?” - Frazier to Rahman

    I liked Michael Spinks more than Leon before it was fashionable.

    Watching Michael coming up, damn, he was so advanced so early. Leon was of course more famous and obviously the flashier personality with the whole Neon Leon thing, but before his downfall I had latched onto Michael as one of my favorite fighters.

    Never imagined he’d be also one day be heavyweight champ, I’ll admit, but he’s my No. 1 all-time at 175 H2H, and I’ll plant my flag on that hill.

    How big were the 76’ Olympic boxers after Montreal? SRL, Michael, Leon, Howard, etc….

    It was before my time and currently Olympic Boxing is not in good shape from what I hear.
