Ali said, “Almighty God, Allah is with me number one and I have the talent and ability to get away by moving fast.” The crowd loved Ali even more than they already did.
Muhammad Ali’s best fight
One of Ali’s most iconic performances came during his fight against the then-undefeated and undisputed heavyweight champion George Foreman. On October 30, 1974, Ali caused a major upset. Following his undefeated run, the young heavy hitter was regarded as the favorite against veteran Ali.
However, Ali put on a scintillating performance as he displayed his rope-a-dope technique, where he intentionally let Foreman throw punches at him on the ropes. Consequently, as he evaded those punches, Ali knocked out Foreman in the eighth round to emerge victorious.
