    A Top Rank representative, said, Herbert Muhammad took the 'Japan Sham',
    because that was the monster pay day they needed.

    Everyone in Ali's camp, felt they couldn't beat Ken Norton.

    Interesting. Have you got any source material for that,Duce ? If anything,I thought Muhammad took Norton too lightly,coming up to the third fight. Ali should have trained as hard as he did for the second one.

    is this a direct quote from anyone in particular or a proven fact? if so, could you divulge your source, Gotta love some of the random stuff you put out without any kind of back-up. Im not being funny but half the time i dont know if your quoting facts or stating personal opinions. i would be grateful if you could elaborate

    yeah, despite not being a "fix" in the strict sense that the fight was choreographed ahead of time, it was clear that the outcome was designed to be a draw. a cash fight where neither fighter lost face
