Where Is He Now??

Former heavyweight champion Leon Spinks is now working as a $5.15 an hour custodian at the Columbus Family YMCA in Columbus, Nebraska, which is a few hours west of Omaha. (source is *********.com)

Why is he poor? Why isnt Cory helping? Or Michael Spinks?

Maybe he's like Forrest Gump... except with a mop.

[!! AI-Holmes!!]

Yeah it's sad to hear that some fighters that found fame and fortune are now barely making ends meet. This happens much too often.

This is what happens to you when guys like John Carlo knock you out.

I don't understand this a damn bit. How could somebody who beat Muhammad Ali (!!!!) be working as a janitor right now?

And Look how Tyson looks in every pic.....certainly not like a guy heavily in debt.

[Dirt E Gomez]

Morons with money. Look at Ali. He had made more as a heavyweight champion than anybody else but ended up being broke for a period during the 2 year period of inacitivy due to the draft incident. Tyson made millions upon millions of dollars and filed for bankruptcy. You can be a genius in the ring and a still be a moron outside of it.

He doesn't want help from them plus he wasn't really there for Cory growing up.

so true. If you guys watch any poker, you probably know who Chris Moneymaker is. Well, story has it, the night he won the World Series, which was 2 million or so at that time (it's like 7 million now, three years later!), him and his boys went to a strip joint, had a wild party, and ended up owing like 40 grand. That just baffles me how ****** some of these guys can be after winning something big. I'd invest, invest, invest if I had the kind of money most athletes and poker players have. how the **** can you end up in debt or broke?
