Thirty years ago today, Mohammed Ali kicked George Foreman's knock-out-the-fat, patched-denim-clad ass in Kinshasa, Zaire. The sweet science, indeed. Allegedly, the bout was "un cadeau du president mobutu au peuple zairois," but try telling that to Don King.
Watch Rumble in the Jungle tonight and pour some out for George Plimpton.
Ali, bomaye!
