I typed in "Rope A Dope" and this is the first thing that popped up.

Very nice.

@FSMNoodlyAppendage Part of the brilliance was the confidence that he could do it. I wonder how many boxers genuinely believe they could have taken the pummelling that Ali took and then decide the moment when they will win. He's one of the few I've seen who can just absorb such a battering. Incredible strength of mind and body.

While Ali ws taking the pummelling, he was taunting Foreman with things like 'they told me you could hit, george - my wife hits me harder than that!' Pure class!

@AngelicStickman I would agree with you but Ali seemed to outclass Foreman in the first two rounds without the rope-a-dope. Look at those rounds and you will see He danced and even beat Foreman on the inside...Ali simply made a point and that was that he could beat Foreman in any way he wanted...Foreman himself said time and time again he would lose to Ali even if they faced off 20 times. I think Foreman could beat the post Manila Ali but not any Ali before that.

TYSON+ALI+FOREMAN+FRAZIER+...=­LEGENDS

@AngelicStickman That's what makes it better, Foreman was arguably the best boxer of his time. So was Ali. It was the battle of two legends and they both fought like gods.

[AngelicStickman]

@wesmatron Yeah. Just read up on the fight on wikipedia. Very clever, but I feel if George Foreman hadn't played into Ali's rope-a-dope trap he would have won.

[wesmatron]

@AngelicStickman I think it was a pure demonstration of Ali's power. He proved once and for all that being tough and hard is not about how much you can 'dish out' it's about how much you can take. He took everything his opponent had and then told his opponent it was all over. Next thing, he's won. The purest display of boxing excellence IMO

[killlerzoo]

what is the gloves they use?

[killlerzoo]

what is the oz of the gloves that they use?? answer me.

@ladisteo143 That is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. I'd rank George Foreman around 5, in the top 10 of greatest heavyweights. He lost fair to Ali. He would have lost to Ali, like Liston did, in 1967..

[michaelyouth]

At 3:46 Foreman said that this changed the fight. Ali looked upon Foreman as if he were to say: '' I'm still standing, I'm still here''... From then on, it was a different fight.

[michaelyouth]

@wesmatron Probably the greatest chin in the history of boxing. With Foreman he took a beating to the body, but with Shavers, he actually got hit with that right hand, clean.. Shavers had multiple clean shots. Chuvalo was never down, but I believe Ali had a better chin.

[lennonpaul34]

turely a classic fight..Ali just unbelievable..

[kileer7]

man I love Ali! guy is unbelievable to me

[acedede]

@saints360row Me too !

[ladisteo143]

Now Ali is sick, frazier is dead, I think Foreman is the Champ.,.,cause he is still in good shape.,.,.,

[NyyGyro]

@randywash7 Not too many actually, some people assume Ali lost rounds because he only absorbed punishment but in reality he was beating Foreman to the punch almost the whole fight. He would snap Foreman's head back with jabs and whenever Foreman left an opening Ali would throw left right combinations that would shake Foreman. Ali had bagged about 5 rounds for himself at the time of his KO so he hadn't given away too many rounds.

[randywash7]

I wonder how many rounds he threw away For this to work.

[itstonymacaroni]

6:45 pwned.

[falcolombardi2116]

@saints360row Are you me?

[wesmatron]

@dofrethehustla Amen to that

[dofrethehustla]

@wesmatron greatness at work buddy!

[engenuine]

Definitely textbook example of Rope-a-Dope. Straight from the inventor of it!
