Attitude is one of i Don t give a Spinks painfully aware of the endless comparisons with Ali Ali is one hell of promoter. He s a hell of a Man said his image has been distorted. Since winning the title last feb 5, Spinks has had several run ins with the police about driving violations and one concern ing drugs. The drug charge was dismissed but the incident like the others was widely played in the news Media. A lot of people in the press turn things around and manipulate things against me he said. Then As if to emphasize that he is his own Man he added they Ain t Puttin no food on my table. They Ain t put Ting no clothes on my Back. I m learning to Deal with the world the Way i want to Spinks said noting that he is not and does not want to be a world Fig ure like Ali. I want to make enough Money to sit on my can he said of his fighting future. As for his non fight future the Only thing i m interested in is Helpin the then the informal news conference ended and 25-year-old Leon Spinks whose name is in the limelight but his future still in the shadows went Back to work.

Although All of the fighters Are aware of the difference size makes Galindez is most acutely aware of what a few More inches and a few More pounds can mean. At 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds he in t much Shorter or lighter than a Small heavy weight like Spinks who weighs 195 pounds. But he said he does t mind fighting in a preliminary bout. I m a very Good Friend of Ali a Galin Dez said. Ali has helped me a number of times. My idol is but he said he would love to get into the company of the bigger fighters and out of their shadows by challenging for the heavyweight Crown. Why not he said. Bob Foster did it.
