The Spinks Brothers
Two great boxers from the same family celebrate their birthday this month. Leon Spinks was born July 11th 1953 and his brother Michael was born July 13th 1956. Michael was a light heavyweight and heavyweight title winner beating Larry Holmes and Leon was a heavyweight beating Muhammad Ali. Leon's son is Welterweight champion Cory Spinks. Neither had the personality Muhammad Ali had but they were great fighters. Leon always looked like he grew up rough, but Michael was more quiet and a little more likable. Michael Spinks lives in Greenville, Delaware.
