What do you think about an exhibition fight where a star takes on 3 fighters at once?

    I think about this from time to time. I don't know why. The concept is basically one great fighter - say FMJ or Manny Pacquiao - taking on three other contenders in the division at one. The star fighter would fight every round, and the other fighters would take turns fighting rounds.

    (I'm quite aware that this is ridiculous, so dont bother telling me)

    i think George Foreman did it with about 5 or 6 fighters after his loss to Muhammad Ali. Im sure you can find it somewhere on youtube

    hmm says . . .

    faking...... crazy............. weird....
    so 12 rounds?
    if one of the three got KO'ed then he'ld still fight the other two?

    I already picture pac as a rabid wolverine in a barrel tearing someone apart in a ring when he fights.... 3 would be interesting

    Nah I reckon that if one got KO'd then the "team" have to fight every second round instead, etc.

    Boxing has enough circus acts posing as serious fights already.

    This is how I feel. It's a moronic idea that i'm intrigued by.

    I still think tag team boxing is worth a try!


    Yeah, Foreman fought 5 guys, but they didn't take turns. He fought them one-on-one right after each other.

    Seeing some guys dominate divisions so easily makes me wonder how they would do in circus fight like this. Would a great fighter still dominate when his reserves are drained and his opponent is fresher?

    I like the idea.

    I'd only be interested in watching though if he took them all on at the same time.

    Seeing Pacman kayo Hatton & Cotto with a one-two combination and then start laying into Mayweather would be a real spectacle.

    May need three refs in the ring at once though so they don't get confused when they start counting.
