So Stallone FINALLY admits he wasn't natural his entire career.
As the business reporter who's covered this topic extensively and outed all the fake natties in this town from Dwayne Johnson to Hugh Jackman, this is a pretty big deal coming from Sly.

Barry Tompkins, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Larry Merchant were ringside. youtu.be/i6eWMNzGiGI?si=u8LH…
The good news is that I never cared much about Fury vs. AJ in the first place. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, meh.

What are your thoughts on the Spinks-Holmes decisions? I've always felt that the first fight was very close but Spinks did enough to win. I feel like Larry has a much better case for being "robbed" in the rematch.
HBO was at the Riviera Hotel on September 21, 1985 to see undisputed light heavyweight champion Michael Spinks move up to challenge IBF and lineal heavyweight champion Larry Holmes. Barry Tompkins, Ray Leonard and Larry Merchant were ringside. youtu.be/JRLZ9VeAYCU?si=KVl0…
