You want to talk distasteful? then lets talk about a 47 yr old Jerry Quarry (9 years of inactivie) vs Ron Cramer! A very distastful "Event" that should never of been allowed.
Ali was retired at 37, and actually read the facts and his age is the least of the issues at hand, Ali technically wasn't even medically cleared and yet was still given a license, that's the problem, just cause you have a vendetta against Muhammad doesn't take away that he most likely suffered permanent damage from this fight and his condition is worse than what it would have been had someone stepped up and said, NO we can't allow you to take this fight, I said that Ali clearly isn't the only one who's been put into this situation and that officials need to do their jobs and stop this shit from happening
