    1. match em against used up "legends"
    2. match em against under-sized elites
    3. match em against under-sized AND used up "legends"
    4. match em against feather-fisters (house gets the decision)
    5. skip across weight divisions to pick and choose styles
    6. pay off Ring and HBO

    ...any others?... or is this all it takes?

    Do a poor job promoting him, then try to make up for it by talking about how everyone fears him and label him "the Mexican Marvin Hagler"

    Zaire was the source of the funding of the fight. Ali and Foreman were the hype.
