#294 - Long, Thick & Massive - The Theatricalness of "Neon" Leon Spinks
This week, we explore one of the most interesting, strange & wild careers that we've ever heard of, combined with a private life that can easily be described as "erratic". He has more arrests than you can count, but one thing remains true, that he's self destructive, but very nice person. An Olympic gold medalist, and member of a legendary boxing family. He became heavyweight champion of the world, in only his 8th fight, and it went downhill from there. Fast. He even had his teeth stolen, multiple times. But one part of him is incredibly impressive, and it's not his right hand!
Shock the world, screw it up, and become The Chicken Wing King, instead, with "Neon" Leon Spinks!!
Check us out, every Tuesday!
!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!
