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

[Jsmooth9876]

Who had a record of 30-9-2 and Ali was a 10 to 1 betting favorite over. The fight was a joke in every way imaginable BUT Ali just beat the guy who beat him before in Frazier and then TKO's the undefeated killer that everyone thought would knockout Ali in Foreman. So he took a soft touch after. Big deal. No one cares now. No one remembers Ali for taking a couple soft touches between big fights, which he did from time to time.

Berto is essentially Mayweather's Chuck Wepner. Floyd finally beat the guy that so many said would beat him, in the richest fight this sport has ever seen against Pacquiao and now he's taking a softy. I'm not paying $74.95 for it, but I'm not mad about it either.

When Has Floyd ever fought his "George Foreman" ?
I guess maybe Corrales would have been that guy about 13 years ago lol.

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.

You sound silly n I'm sure you've never fought a day in your life


All you do is male excuses for fighters you like

Boxing is defend yourself @ all times....the smaller fighters have it a lot worse...smaller gloves throw more punches, better techniques n speed....how many great heavyweights are fvked up compared to smaller greats....ALi stands out Cuz he is Ali....look at the long term damage smaller guys take


A 1 punch or combo tko is better than a gatti ward type fight in the long run


So...let me get this str8 @ 130 chico corrales couldn't punch

@ 135 Castillo?

140....Gatti?


147....PAC was gonna knock Floyd out right....ortiz, Mosley, canelo, maidana can't punch?



When did Ali step in the ring with some with a 15-20 pound weight advantage?


Ali was a big heavy for his time



Floyd Has been hit by the best punchers of his era bro

He charged closed circuit. They made a lot of money off the Wepner fight.

It isn't quite the same as Ali fought Ron Lyle less than two months after Wepner and Joe Frazier later that same year. Plus the Wepner fight was on free television.

But yes, Wepner was awful.

Well yeah, boxers had to fight a lot more back then. He also fought Joe Bugner after Lyle, which wasn't that much of a step up from Wepner. So he fought a couple poor opponents and an OK one in Lyle (who was coming off a loss to Young) before fighting Fraizer.

I'm not saying everything was identical, nothing can be exactly the same. Just saying Ali fought a really crappy opponent in Chuck Wepner after Foreman. It happens. I seriously doubt this is Floyd's last fight, he spoke a few weeks ago about who will be his 50th opponent I don't know why people always fall for his "this is my last fight" line.

It's clear you're ******ed. Getting hit by Norton is ten times worse than getting hit by anyone on that list. You're unbelievably ******ed.

Be serious el blanca

What 8-0 pro is beating mayweather today from 147-154



Face it....Mayweather is an all time great



He beat everyone the media cooked up as a threat.... His hard fights were against guys who they didn't pump up


Maidana and Jose Luis Castillo


Everyone else lost to him 8-4 maybe worse or got stopped

[FrankieBruno]

It's clear you're ******ed. Getting hit by Norton is ten times worse than getting hit by anyone on that list. You're unbelievably ******ed.

It would be la Blanca you idiot, you can't can't even get a joke right. I never once said Floyd isn't great. He's in my top three of the last 20 years. If Floyd got hit in the head by those guys he'd be dead and wouldn't even live to fight a guy who's 8-0. The fact that you make this argument and use it as a victory for Floyd is ****** and pathetic. How long someone's career is doesn't make them great. By the time Ali fought spinx he was finished.

I'm ******ed but you couldn't answer 1 question I asked

Face it bro you're a troll



The best punchers of the last 20 years from 130-154 include odlh, Mosley, PAC, cotto, corrales, gatti, Ortiz, maidana, castillo, n canelo


Look at their ko ratio at the time he fought them



George foreman beat Norton, moorer, Frazier, after that his resume is thin
