See the shorter guy to my left in my sig, he was invited to UFC 1 as the Muay Thai champion he was replaced by Gerard ( forgot his last name ) French guy bc there was no insurance and you had to win just to get 1000 a fight in the tournament he decided against it. Still has the original UFC contract , was pretty cool. .
How long has the term "superfight" been around?

That guy’s a casual for sure. How could he not have been aware of the Ali-Marciano exhibition or SRL-Hagler.😂😂of course you know nothing and are an idiot. misleading the poor TS like that with your lacking knowledge. you'd chug dillian white's "D sample" straight from the source!
TS,
the original "super fight" was ali - marciano in an exhibition / acting out a computer simulation. it ran in theaters like a movie would. it was shot in 1969 and it came out in 1970. marciano lost about 50 lbs to shoot the rounds. ali needed a way to make money while his license was suspended for refusing to enter into the draft.Comment

Someone already informed the TS where it originated has nothing to do with my post , the thread is about using the term super fight and it's been around a bit with different fights and the one I brought up was actually created a belt for the term in combat sports , you re.tard.of course you know nothing and are an idiot. misleading the poor TS like that with your lacking knowledge. you'd chug dillian white's "D sample" straight from the source!

Unfortunately I moved and no longer train with him, we had a good little Mua y Thai / MMA thing going awhile back , the video you saw awhile ago was actually his gym , those huge Maui Thai bags were great for developing punching power in that set up.Comment

I would say mid seventies onwards.....Leonard vs hagler was actually billed as the superfight.
I would say Ali vs foreman , Ali vs Frazier , Leonard vs hearns hagler vs hearns Leonard vs hagler Mayweather vs Pacquiao are my superfightsComment
