Muhammad Ali ruined his legacy with that Antonio Inoki exhibition

[Marchegiano]

Ive responded.

In two of the three events, Ali boxed against wrestlers who were wrestling in the ring.

Those wrestlers didn’t win a round by outboxing Ali, like Logan Paul won a round by outboxing Floyd Mayweather.

In the third exhibition, Ali boxed a professional athlete who had a 44-1 amateur boxing record and went a Golden Gloves semi-final. Ali was outweighed in the fight by 40 pounds.

Not sure how any of those exhibitions equate to losing a round or two to a professional content creator who was never a professional athlete and has no boxing experience.

Alright, I'll bite, why were any of these organized as exhibitions if they are real fights? Anyone of them.

I’m not arguing that they weren’t exhibitions.

Im arguing that there’s a significant difference.

Floyd Mayweather was outboxed in the first round and possibly the second, against someone who isn’t a professional athlete and didn’t have boxing experience.

That never happened to Muhammad Ali.

Thats why Ali wasn’t criticized for the exhibitions while Mayweather is criticized for his performance.

I realize, I didn't ask if you believe they were exhibitions or not. I asked why they were organized as exhibitions.

For the boxing matches, state athletic commissions refused to sanction boxing matches between former champions and nobodies.

For the wrestling/boxing hybrids, there wasn’t an actual sport happening to sanction.

State athletic commissions are not the only legal way to have an unsanctioned fight.

No response about Ali having 3 show events I see.

You need more ammo in the intellectual department to engage in this conversation, Plunger.

The Ali exhibitions except the wrestler I never knew existed so I cannot say much about that but I bet they didn’t try to make it into a PPV event against a social media clown......it’s how mayweather behaves in taking people for a ride that get my goat up and now it’s the 3rd time in a row he has done and also was made to look foolish.
But we all know the biggest mayweather fan could not see no wrong it......typical shoulder roll

If you didn't know what you were talking about, and that other Ali exhibitions existed, you should have just kept your yapper shut.

Those exhibitions didn't harm Ali's legacy or the sport. Just like Floyd's exhibitions don't either.

Ali didn’t lose rounds to a professional content creator.

Oh wait, no he didn't. He's still seen as The Greatest by many.

your still in denial and as I said Ali never robbed the public by fighting a YouTube hack who had no right being in the ring with him and from what I saw mayweather did absolutely nothing in that fight and possibly lost that fight and yet here who are again defending the indefensible and yes mayweather got absolutely roasted after this sham...exhibition or not it was embarrassing and only a fool would try and defend it.
But here we are good ole shoulder roll comes to the rescue to mayweather once again....what a wanker lol
