Remember Zaire-hea?

Ahhhh, memories.
It was 39 years ago today that George Foreman commited his legendary Bungle in the Jungle when he was rope-a-doped into fistic infamy, dropping the heavyweight crown to Muhammad Ali.
Fights don't come much bigger. Certainly not today.
I can still recall Ali shadow boxing and dancing in the ring alone for maybe 10 minutes before Foreman made his appearance. While Foreman procrastinated, the crowd constantly roared "Ali Bomaye!"
No wonder Big George didn't want to come out.
