    I think I'm going to have to disagree with you on this, Mick. For a few reasons. This fight was gigantic given what it represented and will forever be thought of as one of the most polarizing events in sports history... Louis will go down as one of the best HWs of all time and Louis's destruction of Schmelling in their second fight was epic, Ali's name, mouth, actions and dominance transended Sport. Ali was a force of nature and Everybody in the world from people in Kenya to the Phillipines to the bum who asks for change at the corner store to your local pizza guy to your grandmother's best friend Agnes knew who Muhammad Ali was and had heard him speak. When Ali took on Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle it was the biggest sporting event the world had ever seen... Even eclipsing Joe and Max. The public was force fed Ali by...... Ali. Although that fight had lasting cultural shockwaves Ali Foreman gets this one, me thinks.
