Because when he met them in juvie, Spike was the leader until Axe easily beat him in a fight and was made  new leader, much to Spike's dismay. After years of losing his title as leader, he couldn't stand it anymore and challenged the much larger Axe to a rematch for leadership which Axe won, killing Spike in the process. Spike often mouthed off to Axe and questioned his leadership skills, angering Axe. Axe's strength is his most dangerous weapon. Spike was no match for him.
