All this stuff about voodoo, witch doctors and curses is bullshit. If they had so much power why didnt they come together as 1, like Voltron and take over the whole continent of Africa?? Why? Because voodoo and curses are fake. I love Ali but he won because he had a better plan than Foreman.
The part where he says you don´t wanna see George hitting the bag if you´re gonna fight him reminds me of Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon telling his opponent before a fight, as his opponent broke 2 boards with a punch to try and intimidate Bruce, Bruce tells him " Boards, don´t hit back"...neither does the bag...
My dad was in his teens at the time leaving in Cameroon which is next to the Congo.
He told me that word on the street was that ALL the witch doctors of Central Africa had put a curse on FOREMAN. It may sound crazy but he explained to me that ALI was ADORED in Africa at the time because he was seen as a brother, one of those who had stood to the white man. That is why they were so sure he would loose.
FOREMAN had the physical power but ALI had the soul.
@sixfouimpala The power of a punch doesn't just rely on the strength of the fighter. Speed and precision are key. If you could measure the power of a simple punch, then Foreman (and E. Shavers) would probably register more force than Tyson. However, I think Tyson's punches would (or did) inflict greater damage, due to their technique, speed, precision, and still awesome power. Of course, Foreman's terrific height was a massive benefit.
Ali says black women leave their husbands because they don't have money. This was before sweet Belinda left him because of his whore Veronica Porsche.
The name Clay came from the white slave master who had black slaves as their property. Those slaves were known by their master's name. How was that a racist bullshit, mr whitey. Your name speaks for itself.
@ScorpionFire98 - The last name Clay was a name given to his slave ancestors. Most black Americans have last names that can be traced back to slavery. It's a fact - not a good fact, but still a fact.
Now I'm a blonde-haired blue-eyed WASP, but I got no problem with Ali dismissing "Clay" as his "slave" name. What the hell is your problem?
How ingenious of Mrs. Clay to name her son Cassius Marcelus, from prominent Romans, this is never mentioned. He becamr the greatest, as were the Romans and the British, in "modern times".
Here we are better than 40 years later and the players in this drama have proved one thing conclusively: the universal law of karma reigns supreme. B.B. king is a prime example. He made the corrections to his diet and lifestyle and is still going strong and giving live concerts at better than 80 years of age.
If I had punching power like that, I would fly to Israel, and then, using iron filling stuffed boxing gloves, I would punch every ashkenazi Jewish male in Israel in the balls as hard as humanly possible. I would then punch them on the ear.
Does anyone know the name of the song that starts at 7:45? Is it listed on the sound track?It comes on later in the documentary as well, and it's pretty catchy!
Does Mailer even know what he is talking about? Yeah, ALI said those things. But he had other plans for Foreman. And even as a kid I knew this. In my heart I knew he would beat Foreman. I got paid by teachers&students...Because Ali fought w/more than his hands. The rumble in the jungle was a battle of body, mind, and spirit. It was a political&spiritual victory for us all that loved peace,truth,&justice. Ali made being humble easy. Because he was/is the greatest of all time.
@SatiricalTruth Fucking Christ you're not kidding. You need to have hit a heavy bag yourself and know how firm it is to appreciate the fucking un-real-ness of the dent he put in that thing.

Mailer says that after hitting the heavy bag, Foreman would leave a dent the size of half of a small watermelon.
In the video clip that accompanies that,
the dent looks more like the size of a full large watermelon.

Foreman is a true fighter he beat´d bret cooper with 42 years old, and still wanted a comeback with 56 xD. But nobody can come close to Muhammad Ali.
