i don't like to talk about eras I didn't live in. Ali was from my era. Ali and Frazier fought to the death. why money? Not really, it was pride. who's the real champ. Back then being HW champ meant something. To judge Ali based on the Spinks fight is saying that Spinks at his best can beat the 1967 Ali. he defended his title 9 times in 3 years in their backyard. He fought everyone who was anyone. Ali was a well school fighter who fought all over the world.

Real rivalries are rare, but when Stone Cold Steve Austin turned up to the ring in a beer truck and said to the Rock that he'd burn down the Smackdown hotel (the hotel the Rock was staying at), nothing has ever been more real. Nash was very scared for the Rock that night, but I believe Austin had a change of heart as he knew that if he did that, not only would the fight and the money be off the table, but he'd be looking at life in jail, but what a time and rivalry it was.

Wilt Chamberlain (and Jim Brown, another delusional sports legend) didn't come close to having what it takes to do that, and would fold up like hot laundry against Ali or anyone Ali EVER fought, without exception.
How INSULTING!
Do the deed or shut up...I say. That's why they build rings.
Next you'll have us believe that Marvin Hagler ducked Sylvester Stallone back in the late 70's.
Snap out of it!!!! Lol
