info_outlinePerhaps the most profound demonstration of Ali’s resilience came in the 1974 fight against George Foreman, known as the “Rumble in the Jungle.” Foreman, the reigning heavyweight champion, was known for his brutal knockout power and had been destroying his opponents with ease. Most analysts predicted that Ali stood little chance against the powerhouse Foreman.
However, Ali used his confidence and resilience to implement a strategy that would go down in history. He famously used the “rope-a-dope” tactic, allowing Foreman to punch himself out, while Ali conserved his energy by leaning against the ropes and absorbing punches.
