2. “Rumble in the Jungle”
The fight involving Muhammad Ali and George Foreman known as “The Rumble in the Jungle” is one that will be viewed by boxers, fight fans and reporters for generations to come. It was on this fateful night when Ali utilized his famous “Rope-a-Dope” technique to evade Foreman’s punches and tire out the then-champion. Foreman, not understanding what Ali was doing, punched himself out, and he was left fatigued and there for the taking when a combination of Ali punches knocked Foreman down and out in Round 8. Ali, a heavy underdog heading into the fight, notched maybe the best victory of his career against Foreman.
