This is the greatest boxing match, and perhaps the greatest individual sporting

event in the history of the world, the Rumble in the Jungle on 10/30/74 in Kinshasa, Zaire. Ali was at his peak, while Foreman was still undefeated (40-0) and seemed unbeatable. 2 legends at their peak, Ali using his resourcefulness, patience & timing to come through and score a seemingly impossible KO in the 8th round.

Foreman was never the same but after taking 10 years off & realizing he could still punch well enough to make a living & raise $$ for his church, he had an improbable 2nd act as a bald, overweight middle-aged man, where he became heavyweight champion at age 45 by staying just close enough to his opponents to position himself to throw a few knockout blows, which usually came slow, but he still only needed a few.

RIP George Foreman
