Several well known boxers had lesser known brothers who also boxed professionally. Who’s your favorite forgotten brother???

Remember when shoe stores left nothing to chance? "I'm usually a 10 1/2 or an 11." "Well, guess what, I'm gonna measure your fucking foot."

It wasn’t an authentic 70s swing set if one leg wasn’t popping out of the ground in a concerning fashion once somebody really got going on that motherfucker.

Leon and Michael Spinks at the U.S. Olympic Trials, on June 6, 1976, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Sports Illustrated's article, from June 14th issue, on the trials put it mildly (their caps, not mine): AFTER THE LAST BELL CLANGED, CONCLUDING THE HARD-FOUGHT OLYMPIC TRIALS IN CINCINNATI'S RIVERFRONT COLISEUM, THERE WAS NO DOUBT BUT THAT THIS COUNTRY WILL BE SENDING A BALANCED, FORMIDABLE TEAM TO MONTREAL NEXT MONTH The author, Robert H. Boyle, added: "The strength of the team is the result of a quiet resurgence of amateur boxing in the U.S. Half the contestants in the semifinals in Cincinnati got their start in a Junior Olympic Program that Roily Schwartz, the team manager and National AAU boxing chairman, helped form several years ago." In the finals Ray Leonard won a decision over Bruce Curry. SI added: "Predicting medalists in Olympic boxing is a chancy business. Besides Leonard, regarded as a near cinch for the gold, there are other hopefuls among the winners at Cincinnati. These include 125-pound Davey Armstrong from Puyallup, Wash., a Pan-Am gold medalist, and 132-pound Howard Davis, of Glen Cove, N.Y., who won a gold in the 125-pound division in the world competition in Havana in 1974. Davis moved up in weight for the Trials and defeated Aaron Pryor of Cincinnati, the nation's top-rated amateur lightweight, in a rousing final." Clinton Jackson from Evergreen, Ala., who fights out of Nashville for Ace Miller, won the 147-pound competition. The only boxer ever to win three straight National AAU and Golden Gloves titles, Jackson was named the U.S. Olympic athlete of the year in all sports for 1975." More from the SI article: "Leon Spinks of St. Louis, a Marine lance corporal stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C., won the 178-pound title. He was a bronze medal winner at the World Games in Havana and a silver medalist at the Pan-Ams in Mexico City last year. His brother Michael, not as highly rated, won the 165-pound championship, and their joint victories mark the first time brothers have won in the Trials."

This motherfucker ran a solid kingdom and I think some acknowledgement of that is overdue. Low crime, clean streets, quality monarch.

Sure, 4K is nice, but there was nothing like sitting two inches away from one of these sweet bastards while your mother predicted you’d be as blind as Ray Charles by the following Thursday.

“As you all know, CBS needs a new sitcom. We’d like to hear some ideas. Bob, I see your hand is up.” “How about this: a widowed single mother takes a dead end job at a diner where the owner attempts to destroy his employees emotionally on a daily basis.” “That’s hilarious!”

The Braves pitching staff was so dominant sometimes Fred McGriff would make phone calls at first base. “Yo, Crime Dog here. No, the game’s not over yet. Maddux is pitching, it’s under control.”
