    yeah. this happened before(inoki vs ali) and it ended in a 15 round draw. what are the rules? in the inoki vs ali match, inoki cant slam or lift ali up. I hope that this match will have more action. i think its ok if lesnar would slam lewis.

    I read about this. Apparantly, the match was scheduled to be very exciting, with throws, locks, punches etc., but Ali, (being Ali) decided that his reputation might be tainted so he decided not to 'play the game'

    The match only contained kicks to the back of Ali legs.

    If only all these matches were like Rocky vs. Thunderlips :)

    Sorry haven't seen any websites, I just read about it in some books.

    I believe it did end in a draw, and it was scheduled to be a draw. However it was supposed to be an exciting 'match', with Ali showing how good boxing is, and Inoki showing how good martial arts/wrestling is.

    Ali decided that he wasn't going to go along with what the promoters wanted. If you don't know already, its all fixed - its a scheme created by people such as Vince McMahon and Don King.

    scripted match huh? that is what i hate about pro wrestling. when i was a kid, I really thought that pro wrestling was real. I think the name WWE is more appropriate than WWF. I hope that this match will be real.

    about 40lbs. I just hope that this match will be real so we can see some serious fighting. if this match is scripted like a pro wrestling match i think it will also end like the other wrestler vs. boxer matches. draw or disqualification.

    Rules like that make no sense to me. A fight is a fight is a fight is a fight. If you wish to fight another day take away permantley disabling techniques like eye gauges. I'd even go so far as to say groin shots should be legal. Simply put in a real fight if you want to see who is best have as little rules as possible.

    a lot. Andre the Giant Vs. Chuck Wepner; Anotnio Inoki vs. Chuck Wepner; Abe Kashey vs. Charlie Retzlaff; Bart Gunn vs. Butterbean; etc.

    Just for the record the Bart Gunn vs. Butterbean was actaully a REAL boxing match.

    Apparantly, there was some friction between the two so they ordered a match.

    Gunn lost in the first round via KO.

    so who is Butterbean's opponent when he was whacked by a stool? I can clearly remember that match in my head. I just can't remember his opponent. Butterbean even ranted about that wresler being a rule breaker and stuffs like that. I cant find it in yahoo too. any ideas?

    I agree but there are a lot of dumb politics in these fights, most wrestlers want the fight with little or no striking. Most boxers want little or no grappling in a fight. Most people at this level don't care if they find out who's really the best they just want to look the best because of the money.
