George Foreman > He 'sleepwalked' through that 'fixed fight'.
Muhammad did nothing for 7-Rounds, then woke up.
Roy 'Tiger' Williams beat up Muhammad again, back at the Deer Lake Training Camp
when they got back to the States.
I do believe his wife Belinda lumped him up as well.

Ali tried to dance, he failed, and spent few rounds trying to find a new tactic. The 'rope a dope' tactic was a nice accident, the name itself was created by David Frost; watch the post fight interview...
"Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it."

A couple of days ago I was going to post an article from "The Sweet Science". It's an interesting view of how it was not just about the rope-a-dope.

This shit is hilarious. They should have banned the rope in 1865 and used rubber walls instead. See through of course or just went with sheets of poly like along hockey boards that absorb and reflect the weight.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Roy 'Tiger' Williams
He was the one who taught Muhammad to use the Ropes, while they were
training in Zaire.
Roy was 'lumping' up Muhammad on a routine basis. He told Muhammad to just
rest on the Ropes, and let the big galoot punch himself out.
Roy never got the deserved credit.
Yeah they were very loose... but in the end Foreman was an idiot and punched himself out. I mean loose ropes or not, standing still on the ropes should be an absolute gift for a guy like Foreman, but Ali took the blows and Foreman punched himself out like a dummy.
