In 1978, Leon Spinks shocked the world by beating Muhammed Ali and becoming boxing’s heavyweight champion.  Spinks died last month at age 67.

I had the opportunity to meet Spinks in 2013 at a personal appearance he did in Las Vegas.  Of course, I had to ask him to hold up a copy of Coverage Opinions and write something about it.  And the former champ was a great sport and happily obliged.
