People have to realize that just because you become champ it doesnt mean you line up to face every super star young lion that comes your way. It is and always has been about carving a piece for yourself and making money.I was a boxing fan during the buildup to Ali - Frazier 1. Some matchups, due to size, should never be made. Duran - Hearns and Duran - Hagler are two. Duran - Barkley was idiotic too. Mixed results but terrible choices.
Just like when bisping took on Hendo when he won the belt. Of course it was a dumb pointless fight, but it made money and was supposed to be low risk for the count. He almost fucked that shit up.
Tyson fighting foreman was pretty no win from where i was sitting back in the day. Fight a resurging monster of a man, who's known for durability, granite chin and throwing sledge hammers. top that off that everyone is playing off like he's finished, a bum returning from retirement. As champ, why the hell would you take that kind of risk if it wasnt a give me fight?
