    Mohammed Ali said of Leon Spinks that he couldn't be Heavy Weight Champion, he was too ugly. I don't think that had much to do with his prowess in the ring.

    67, not 61.



    Still, not really old enough to die.

    Ali nicknamed his opponents. He called Spinks “the vampire.”


    I know that he won the heavyweight title, but to me his greatest accomplishment was winning the Olympic gold medal.
