Ali's last 4 fights he was 1-3 he was also over 36 years old and already exhibiting signs of Parkinsons so if we're going by his "prime" which would probably be after the last Frazier fight he was 49-2 with wins over Frazier, Norton and foreman with the two losses being avenged. When would you say Tyson's prime was? When he lost to buster at age 24?

Tyson began heavy drug use once out of prison around 28 (ish) Three year sentence for sexual assault not too long after the Douglas fight. He was definitely in his prime when he lost to Douglas. But became a washed up shadow of his former self fairly rapidly.

I wish we could see this fight. Like I wish I could see the 95-96 Chicago Bulls play the 80-81 Boston Celtics

just saw the pacquiao fight

the previously undefeated algiri lost a very lopsided unanimous decision to pacman.

I don't know anything about algiri, but he was towering over pacman at the weigh ins. taller, walked in the ring 6 lbs heavier. but pacman had a small reach advantage. algiri seems to be a defensive counter puncher. he was on his bicycle all night. in the middle rounds he became more offensive and payed for it.

officially algiri suffered a wopping 6 knockdowns.

So in your opinion, did this fight help or hurt the momentum for the fight with money?

So a rematch is the one condition Mayweather wants in order to fight Pac?,most big fights have rematches anyway...more money for every one involved..but what if Manny brutally beats Floyd,will he even want a rematch lol?...not sure about that article but Floyd himself has stated that he won't negotiate for a fight with Pac unless Pac's manager Bob Arum stays out of the talks.

That still applies. Recently told arum to get out of the way.

Yeah normal for a one sided rematch clause but i think it should be a two match contract? I think Floyd only wants it if he loses.

Mayweather will lose if he fights the same way(defense), he would have to change his style of fighting.

I think they'd both would try to fight a tactical defensive fight with very few flurries. That's just my opinion. After this long, this much hype, legacies at stake. I can't see someone going balls to the wall on the attack.
