After beating Joe Frazier and George Foreman in 74, Ali fought Chuck Wepner

[ИATAS]

a bit less? Thats a 22 million dollar difference.

a bit less gtfo lol

They didn't have those kind of paydays in those days in any sport. as I said though $10 million paydays is huge and that's what Ali was getting in today's money against Wepner, which was considered by many as highway robbery.

This thread sucks and is ****** just like TS.

TS you were made to look like a mug in here

give it up mate

find a better comparison, you are way way off with this one

embarrassing

[FrankieBruno]

You wonder why I criticize you all the time, it's for ******ity like this. Ali got hit by guys like foreman, Lyle, Norton, etc. Big ass grown men were hitting him not 150 pound man-child's. You gotta be utterly ****in ******ed to even mention what you did in the bold. Ali was brain dead by the time he fought spinx.

spot on....

There are huge difference in circumstance, the biggest being the money involved and the amount of times Ali fought. After losing to Frazier in 71, Ali fought 15 times in 3 years before facing Wepner. In those 15 fights, as you rightly put, he fought Frazier and Foreman, but he also fought Norton twice, Foster the LHW champ and guys like Ellis and Mathis who were perennial HW top 10 entrants and title challengers.

Mayweather has fought 15 times in 10 years...let that sink in for a second...thats less than 2 fights a year. Mayweather is putting this fight on a near 80 dollar PPV premium and is set to make 30-40 million dollars from it. In what he says, is supposed to be his last fight. No fighter should be making that sort of money, on such short intervals, fighting opponents who barely rank above a sparring partner.

Your comparison is invalid.

the icing on the cake

By who? I've received more green k for this thread than any thread I've made all year.

I'm not even a Mayeather fan. All I'm saying is it isn't that uncommon for these types to fights to happen after big fights, which I've clearly shown. I can list a lot more if you'd like. Go through the list of your favorite old school fighters and look at all the Berto's on their resumes.

Comparing Floyd to Ali LOL

Lets compare their resumes then...

Who on Floyd CV is comparable to George Foreman?

Ali fought competitors who were in their primes, with the odds stacked against him

Floyds nearest challenge was 5 years too late, against a old midget, who had been knocked out unconscious few fights earlier

At the time, perhaps Diego Corrales would have been semi-comparable. He was 33-0 (27 KOs), was destroying everybody, and was the favourite in the Mayweather fight.

Mayweather also beat a bigger undefeated Canelo who everyone thought he wouldn't fight, a bigger Mosley who everyone thought he wouldn't fight, a bigger Cotto who everyone thought he wouldn't fight, and an undefeated Hatton.

He also rematched the two guys that people thought gave him trouble and beat them more decisively.

I'm not saying that his resume is as good as Ali's, but it's definitely not a joke. He hasn't fought a real soft touch in 10 years (since Brusseles), whereas Ali fought all kinds of guys that really had no business being in the ring with him after the Foreman fight: Wepner, Young, Coopman, Evangelista, Bugner, Dunn and even Leon Spinks.

Not really. I mean at that time Ali was even being dragged into the whole boxing vs MMA talk (they didn't call it back then) just like Floyd is with Rousey right now, only the difference was Ali had NO SHAME when it came to money and actually fought Antonio Inoki in a bizarre boxing vs mma match in 1975, just so that Ali could make $10 million dollars or whatever it was he paid, a circus act that everyone involved in wanted to forget about!

Lmaooooo what is going on in that pic

a couple of floyd nuthuggers giving you green k and internet props doesnt change the facts, you were given a history lesson in here by a number of posters

bad comparison, don't be so hard headed, go back to the drawing board
