“Ali, boma ye! Ali, boma ye! Ali, boma ye!”
Muhammad Ali heard it all as music and danced. Then he came off the ropes and struck. The “Rumble in the Jungle” stands as boxing’s singular work of art. And that night in Zaire, Ali — The Greatest that ever was — rendered all those saying all those things speechless. An underdog? They didn’t know Ali. In over his head against George Foreman? They didn’t know Ali. A washed up champion who lacked humility? They didn’t know Ali.
