George Plimpton vs Muhammad Ali. Okay, not really, but still essential for those who might have yet to see it, on the shortest poem in the English language; pay no mind to the Spanish language etc. in the title; the 1st 95 seconds are the main attraction. #WhenWeWereKings

🥊 In light of George Foreman's passing... RIP 🪦 This feels like a good opportunity to remind everyone of #WhenWeWereKings. One of the greatest documentary films ever made, esp. when it comes to sports, about the Rumble in the Jungle boxing match between Foreman and Ali in 1974. 📽️🎞️

Remembering George Foreman—

The consensus was Foreman would beat Ali,
But rope~a~dope defines this history,
He couldn’t net the butterfly and got stung by a bee
Here’s a documentary you all must see.
And, whee!—you get James Brown for free.

Ali only beat Foreman because he played rope-a-dope for 8 rounds. We're in round 2 right now.
