    No chance he'll fight Spence and you imagine him vs GGG these days? Money would get knocked out.
    Ali had several exhibition fights and they didn't become his legacy.

      That’s because Ali fought elite level opponents at their best, something Floyd never did.

        Probably something lost in translation. Inoki most likely always thought it was going to be legit.

          I always thought the reason it was so boring was becuse it was legit?

          That night they showed it close circuit at (I think Shea Stadium) they had a pre live show with Chuck Wepner v. Andre the Giant (with Gorilla Monson as Andre's second.) They threw each other around the ring and out of the ring. The fans loved it, but when the real match/bout came on it was boring as hell and the naive fans started chanting fixed.

          At least that's how I interpreted the night.

            This is what amuses me about Mayweather fans. Floyd makes his money off them and yet they will defend him from anything. When Floyd has finally gone quiet and living in his mansion with their money - maybe they will realize...

              They should've done the Inoki fight like that, staged. The Andre vs. Wepner fight I just saw as I've been going through an Andre compilation. Kinda weird it was a 10 count KO from being thrown out of the ring. I thought boxers got a 20 count to get back into the ring when they went outside of it.

                - -Staged 'rasslin' count after being tossed onto the concrete by Andre...duh!

                Anyway, the Japanese wanted a real mixed bout, so to get Ali in the ring for $6mil, they had to agree to neuter Antonio down to 20% of his capacity which is why they had Gene Lebelle as the ref as Gene could do more than just break up fights.

                End of the night American boxing and Ali shamed not that it matters to shameless American fans...

                  Did you know that LeBell fought a legit MMA match with a boxer?

                    Didn't Wepner start shooting on Andre at the end of the fight?
