Maybe someday? For now, fails WP:GNG because WP:Crystal. Only reference online is a single video from 1939. Amazon has a poster of Muhammad Ali training underwater, which is interesting, but not helpful. &mdash; Gaff ταλκ 04:31, 13 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete A7. Also meets several other deletion criteria. --Sammy1339 (talk) 04:55, 13 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Speedo delete G3. The event mentioned in the article is a work of comedy staged and edited for film, not a live recording of an authentic sports contest. The Empire Pool was a sports venue that had a pool but also hosted a number of dry sports. Thus, boxing at the Empire Pool, ba-dum tsh! A drastic rewrite to discuss underwater fisticuffs as a comedic device in film may clear the water, but as is, we may have no choice but to pull the plug and drain it out.
