    No he was not around at the time.

    The Brits were avoided, Billy Robinson or Kendo Nagasaki, they were the real contenders, not some Dizzy Hogan.;)

    Hey Duce can you tell us more about Liston vs. the wrestler? I never heard about this. Did he knock him out? Who in the hell would wrestle with Liston?

    Inoki was rated No. 2 in Japan, behind Giant Baba

    I have to dig it up. It was in the Thunderbird Hotel & Casino parking lot.

    Sonny tracked down a loud-mouth wrestler, Dick the Bruiser, who was making bad remarks about boxers.
    Sonny beat him up in the parking lot, then chased him into a corner,
    and slapped him silly.

    Next to taking the Holmes and Berbick fights,the Inoki farce must have been the daftest thing Muhammad allowed himself to get mixed up in. He could have suffered permanent damage to his legs.

    Bob Arum,,,,,,,,,,,threw $6,100,000 in Ali's lap.

    The whole thing was a thought up scam by Bob Arum.

    And Herbert Muhammad must have said to Muhammad Ali,,,,,'you're going'.

    Of course, the behind close door deal was, Antonio Inoki, a Japan Hero,
    'would not lose'. The fight was orchestrated.

    The fight was like watching the movie 'Ishtar'

    And with the Norton rubber match so close,Ali should have rested then gone into serious training. After all,he'd just beaten Dunn.
