Summary
Radio executive Murray Woroner had a dream -- a fantasy radio boxing tournament matching 16 fighters from different eras.

This ultimately led to one of the strangest bouts in boxing history: The Super Fight between Ali and Mariano, a match that occurred on film, but never happened in real life.
