    Ive seen the footage a thousand times of moments before the Rumble in Jungle where Ali is trash talking Foremen in the center of the ring.

    I have a good idea of what he could have been telling him but any confirmation of what Ali was actually saying to Foreman????

    In one of the many books I read about the Zaire fight, it said part of what Ali said was: "You heard about me as a kid, now you will have to face me in the ring".

    That's classic after what actually unfolded.

    I think he is saying "Do you really think you can beat me?"

    In his book "the greatest" he tells what he said.
