    Did anyone see Ali fight the wrestler - sounds like a hoot?

    Boxing greats Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Archie Moore and Muhammad Ali have all battled wrestlers in the ring.
    The following are some of these unique encounters:

    I saw it on closed circuit at the Boston Garden. The main event, Ali vs. Inoki was awful. I forget what the stipulations were (certain things Inoki couldn't do), but Inoki spent most of the time lying on his back kicking Ali in the legs. The only good part of the broadcast was Chuck Wepner vs. Andre the Giant. The Giant picked Wepner up and tossed him out of the ring where he was counted out.

    I remember Ali sitting on the top rope for most off the fight, trying to elude the kicks to the legs.
    It looked more like a exebithion than a actual match

    ALI v Inoki was a complete sham!

    Got it on video and its awful, they both had to fight by different rules and it didnt work. Ali was stood there wearing proper boxing gloves and Inoki just refused to get up and fight him, just layed on his back the whole fight kicking the shit out of Ali's legs.
