    My bet is they came to see 2 guys beat the **** out of eachother but it was probably two moves running from each other

    I'd like to know just how many of Clay/Ali's fights were rigged.

    It seems like we learn of a new one every week.

    Bill,

    The 'officials' were 'bought and paid for' at this bout at Freedom Hall.

    Alonzo Johnson, when asked why he didn't protest more after the 'bad scoring'.

    'I can't complain. Not after what Mr. Faversham paid me. I think I got more than
    Cassius.'

    I'm starting to wonder if he ever won an honest fight.

    You ought to write a book on the Greatest Sports Fraud in history.

    It would be a best seller.
    No joke.

    Bill B,

    There are already 'three' in the works, but not by me.

    'The Greatest Hoax Perpetrated On The Public'

    'From Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali; Fix, Phony and Fraud'

    'The Louisville Eleven; How We Bought Ourselves A Heavyweight Championship'

    I'll be in line to buy them.

    Seriously, you should try your hand at it. You write really well, understand the subject and have a wealth of information at hand.
