That was for me the greatest sports moment ever. Here Ali was, getting pummelled, and all of a sudden, faster than Foreman could register, Ali landed that sequence of blows that were literally followed by lightening and a thunder shower. Stuff that dreams are made of. :)

Shame he got wrapped up in extreme islam... he paid for that though, they took him for every penny he had. He's quite a way from being rich, these days.
He was initially part of the Nation, the ones who believed that the white man was the devil. He soon came to his senses and currently practices orthodox Islam and continues to be an icon of peace and justice.
