Is it true that Ali got owned by an MMA guy?

I remember hearing about this fight, but wasnt sure if it was real or staged. Looked pretty crazy.

the guy layed on his bakc the whole fight and kicked ali's legs... umm a real warrior...

He wasn't allowed to grapple. What do you think he should've done? Stand with Muhammad Ali the best heavyweight of all time? You've got to be kidding me.

exactly.

i agree except you mention ali as the greatest of all time. nobody deserves that title.

people, please, get off this greatest of all time ****! marciano could beat ali. frazier did. both klitschkos could. foreman nearly did - and if he had a smarter strategy, would've.

NOBODY DESERVES THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME attribute. no exception. ****, this is something he called himself, not what others called him! when he eventually became great, that g.o.a.t. thing stuck. but lets not overplay it!

He is the greatest heavyweight of all time because his achievements as a pro are better than any other heavyweights. Only Joe Louis comes close and it's a battle between those two for the number one spot.

Sure people could beat Ali, any man can lose. But I would favor Ali over any other heavyweight.

I also remember that on the undercard, heavyweight boxer Chuck Wepner fought Andre the Giant. Wepner was 6'6 but looked tiny next to Andre. In the 3rd round Wepner hit Andre with a couple of rabbit punches and Andre simply picked him up and dumped him completely out of the ring. That ended that. It was awful, but still miles better than the Ali-Inoki farce.

That's Rocky III you're talking 'bout, right?...

He used what worked to his advantage. Just like when Floyd realized he couldnt hurt Baldomir, he resorted to potshoting and moving.

LOL, I can understand the resemblence. No, that really happened. I've seen clips of it on TV a few times since..
