Wait, he didn’t die of COVID?! How’s that possible?!
Oh, right, Creepy Joe and the Ho are in charge now.

"How do you contract prostate cancer?" Bad genes. Sorry to see Leon check out. I always liked the guy. He seemed happy go lucky.

I’m shocked that Neon Leon lasted as long as he did. That first fight with Ali was a masterpiece.

I remember watching that fight, it was quite a slugfest.

Dunno, but I seem to have read years ago that it was a lot more common among celibate monks............

Had him on my airplane once he was dressed in a fur coat and carrying his bowler. Young lady and a male assistant (his publicist?) with him. All sat in first class.
As he passed the cockpit I said “thanks for flying with us today”. He smiled and nodded. (All the time I was thinking about the comedian’s skit where he asks the man’s profession and Spinks answers “I knocks m’fers out”). RIP, my brother. RIP.

I never watched much boxing but I watched that match, because I was living in St. Louis at the time and he was a kid from the Pruitt-Igoe projects who found his ticket out. It was good to see him win. His life afterwards was a mixed bag, but he had an interesting story.
RIP

Any man, if he lives long enough, will contract prostate cancer.
Or so I’ve been told

He made Americans proud in the Olympics. He beat three commie’s to get the Gold.

He had contracted prostate and other cancers. Er.... contacted maybe? Doubt he drew up a formal agreement with them.
