It has been called “arguably the greatest sporting event of the 20th century” and was a major upset, with Ali coming in as a 4–1 underdog against the unbeaten, heavy-hitting Foreman.The fight is famous for Ali’s introduction of the rope-a-dope tactic. Some sources estimate that the fight was watched by as many as one billion television viewers around the world, becoming the world’s most-watched live television broadcast at the time. Decades later, the bout would be the subject of the Academy Award winning documentary film “When We Were Kings”.
