In this episode of The Mindcast Show, we sit down with Cory Spinks, former undisputed welterweight champion of the world and son of legendary heavyweight Leon Spinks, who famously defeated Muhammad Ali in 1978. Joining us for the conversation is sports media personality and longtime friend of the Spinks family, Mystic Zach Hirsch, who helped bring this special episode to life.At the start of our conversation, Cory takes us back to growing up in the streets of St. Louis, raised largely by his mother while carrying one of the most iconic last names in boxing history. He opens up about losing close friends to gun violence, walking away from the sport for two years, and what ultimately brought him back. He also shares how the toughness of his environment directly shaped the mentality he brought into the ring.We dive into his amateur career, which by his own account spanned over 300 fights starting at just eight years old, and what all those early battles taught him about discipline, survival, and the craft of boxing. Cory breaks down his natural southpaw style, his chess-like approach to fighting, and what it actually felt like to become the undisputed welterweight champion as a massive underdog against Ricardo Mayorga, the moment he describes as the highest goal he could ever accomplish in the sport.We also get into some of boxing's biggest conversations today, including his take on Jake Paul's legitimacy as a fighter, the rise of Zuffa Boxing and Saudi money in the sport, Tank Davis, Usyk, Tyson Fury, and who he believes is the greatest of all time. Cory also reflects on the Jermaine Taylor fight, what he wishes he had done differently in his career, and the unique bond between the Spinks and Hirsch families that resulted in Zach's father, Scott naming Cory's son.Throughout the episode, Cory speaks candidly about legacy, what it means to carry the Spinks name without it feeling like a burden, and how becoming the only family in history to produce three undisputed champions wasn't even something he was chasing. He was just boxing.Whether you're a boxing fan, a student of legacy and family, or someone who wants to hear what it's really like to grow up in the shadow of greatness and carve your own path anyway, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.
