    A featherweight kick boxer half his age.

      Ali had a FEW Exhibitions actually...






      It is really not a big deal, people have a problem with it because it is Mayweather doing it I guess

          Mayweather fought a 20 year old no body who wasl ike 5'4''.
          A nobody? He’s a superstar in Japan hence why the fight took place in Tokyo lol. The world is bigger than America

            --- Ali put in critical condition against Inoki and almost died.

            Alzado mullered him pretty good, so the public, boxing suits and his team have a heavy cross to bear in propping Ali up that left him a quaking shell of a man.

            R.I.P.

              That's pantomime. Mayweather also did this at WrestleMania against Big Show.

                I don't think Mayweather did anything wrong. The Japanese fighter announced before the fight that he would try to KO Mayweather so why can't Mayweather KO him? Ali was kind but I wish he had done what Mayweather did instead. The football player wanted to KO Ali and said so before the fight.

                  Ali boxed loads of exhibitions especially when he was short on money.

                  These new fans think exhibitions are something new.

                  To get paid 9 million dollars for an exhibition is insane and Floyd would have been an idiot to turn that down.

                      That's nonsense.
