The Rumble in the Jungle - 50 year anniversary

I like what Plimpton said about him as King starts quoting Shakespeare. Something to the effect of "He was one of the smartest, most intelligent, hardworking men he'd ever met. He was also completely amoral."

 

Come on this fight wasn’t anything but good marketing comrades, Look at it how it is not the propaganda. I ain’t ever rated this as some incredible victory he beat up a rank amateur with a big punch and no sense of pace . “Magical, incredible, the best HW bout, last display of Ali’s wizardry” I’ve heard it all for years and I’m sick of it.

 

Like clockwork, Kamikaze comes out of the woodwork to disparage Foreman.

My God, this kid needs a ****ing life.

 

50 years already!!!

I remember watching the fight in the grainy and blurry screen of our old family tv set.
