Which is the greatest fight of the greatest fighter of all time? for me it was w/o question the rumble in the jungle. in this fight, ali took a fighter who was clearly better than him physically and totally outwitted him. the ropa dope and the hanging on and draggin foreman down, it was genius. he took foreman who was and probably still is the hardest puncher ever and totally neutralized it. in my opinion he was better than liston and Frazier. but in foreman he faced the better fighter and beat him.
