This paragraph caught my eye: "'Would it be fun to watch Muhammad Ali box Muhammad Ali? Would it be fun to watch 10 Michael Jordans out on the basketball floor?' said Dan Rosenberg, president of Three Chimneys Farm, one of the leading farms in Kentucky breeding Thoroughbred race horses. 'What we do is part business and part fun, and it's part science and part art. If it becomes pure business and pure science, I don't want to play any more.'"


To tell the truth, I think both of those would be fun to watch.

Yet impossible to create, at least with current cloning. There could be people with th epotential to be better than MJ or Ali but becuase of their choices in life they don't have the desire/dedication to practice and work as hard as he did. You can create an identical being but you can't create identical life experiences, at least not in a humane way.

Yeah, but if you could, what kind of odds would these events get in Vegas. With everything being a 50/50 shot, sports gambling as we know it would crumble.

Well being Vegas won't let that happen I imagine they will alter the game to add some variance into it, lets say the team with the most points has to shoot at a moving basket or the boxer with the most hits landed has to stand still for the next round.
