    Famous Grandsons?

    With Top Rank shoving the talentless Nico Ali Walsh down our throats, are there any famous grandsons out there who actually made it? There have been plenty of sons who crossed over and won titles, but I don't remember if there have been any grandsons.

      Leon Spinks' grandson fought professionally but he wasn't any good.

        Fighting genes must dilute fast.

          Looks like Nico Ali Walsh already went bust. Was upset tonight by a part-time rapper.

            Wasn't his kid a fighter too, even won a minor championship?

              It didn't take long to expose Nico Ali Walsh

                - - Should be a time for the Spinks grand kids to turn pro.

                  He was a fighter and won major championships at welter and super welter. Cory Spinks. Son of leon and nephew to Michael. Appropriate nickname should have been the spinks stinks. Dull af.

                  As for the specific topic, I don’t know if he’s got any kids, but I can see he is in his mid forties, so there could potentially be a new carrier of the spinks genes on the way.

                    Thanks for the correction. Unlike some, I don't mind being corrected--I prefer it! Yes, poor Corey was a competitor for most boring fighter ever.
