The Superfight – Marciano vs. Ali

Description

In the late 1960’s, a Miami boxing promoter, who had a successful radio series
of fantasy boxing bouts between champs of years past, fed their statistics
into a computer, which predicted a “winner.” Based on the popularity of these
fights, he convinced a retired Rocky Marciano and a suspended Muhammad Ali to
meet in the ring for filmed fight based on the computer results. On January
20, 1970, The “Fight of the Century – Ali vs. Marciano” was show one time in
1500 theatres across the United States and Europe and once in the early 70’s
on ABC’s Wide World of Sports. All prints of the fight were destroyed, except
for one given to the US Copyright office. The SuperFight has not been seen
since. Marciano retired as the only undefeated Heavyweight champion. Ali, was
27 and undefeated. Both champs were motivated to find out who was the greatest
heavyweight champion of all time.
