Rumble in the Jungle: the war of words
The pre-fight quotes and allusions to all-time greatness in
its aftermath have become almost as well known a part of
the famous 1974 fight with George Foreman as the eight
rounds themselves. Here are some of the most memorable
utterances from those present:
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee – his hands can’t hit
what his eyes can’t see.” – Ali in the pre-fight build-up
“I done something new for this fight. I wrestled with an
alligator. I tussled with a whale. I handcuffed lightning, I
thrown thunder in jail. Only last week I murdered a rock,
injured a stone, hospitalised a brick. I’m so mean I make
medicine sick.” – Ali in the pre-fight build-up
“I won’t kid you. When he went to the ropes, I felt sick.
Going into the fight, I thought Muhammad would win, but
not that way.” – trainer Angelo Dundee
“Ali, booma ye!” – chant from spectators (meaning “Ali, kill
him”) .
“That all you got, George? That all you got?” – Ali to
Foreman during the fight.
“He (Foreman) went over like a 6ft 60-year-old butler who
has just heard tragic news” – Norman Mailer in his book,
The Fight.
“This is the most joyous scene … ever seen in the history of
boxing.” – commentator David Frost
“Muhammad amazed me, I’ll admit it. He out-thought me,
he outfought me. That night, he was just the better man in
the ring.” – Foreman
“Now we know what happened which is why he was the
greatest. It was beautiful.” – Dundee 2 Likes |
