    Ali had ZERO interest in a rematch with Forman, regardless of the terms.
    But making the foreman fight was easy there just was no rematch in initial contract was there? Ali was underdog and won convincingly with no controversy, so no need for rematch I guess

      This is such a ****** line. He was a mandatory with no belts against AJ. Now he's the unified champion. World of difference between those situations.
      He will be goat with that resume nearly

        How was there “no need for a rematch” with Foreman but he fought Floyd Patterson twice, Joe Bugner twice, Jerry Quarry twice, Henry Cooper twice…

          He got that split before he beat AJ.

          If it goes both ways, then Fury should have got the same split he got before he beat Wilder.

            Usyk should get the split he got when he fought Felipe Romero.

            greedy bastard.

              Fury should have fought Usyk for $4million, the same purse he got against Klitschko.

                I said it once I'll say it again. No money no fight. If you were a champion, you want the biggest fight for the most money. Usyk has to get in the ring now. If he beats Wilder or Ruiz, then fury will fight him for fat money. Right now, Usyk is an unknown.

                  - - Usyk known world wide as Olympic gold heavyweight and Ring and unified cruiser as well as heavy champ several pay grades above U sissy blubber now confined to BBBc fights and UKAD drug testing for more of his career peanut fights. Been stripped of every title he ever owned now down to his pissante WBC like his hero before him, Lewie who retired days before the strippage of his last belt.

                  Usyk could give a fine undefeated local fighter Hrgovic a fight in Saudi Arabia for fight fans, reap a fortune, and retire having conquered all he met in the ring as well as the mob fighter he met outsie of the ring that melted like spilt snowcone on a summer sidewalk when faced with the prospect of fighting his superiors, AJ and Usyk.

                  Thanks for the reminder...

                      By ''hesitant'', you mean ''scared''

                      He knew Usyk was much more than a ''MW'' and he didn't want to risk losing to one.
