First off, that's Sonny Liston Ali has laid out on the canvass. The rope a dope was a strategy that Ali used to defeat George Forman in the Rumble in the Jungle to win his second heavyweight championship in 1974. Ali lost every round to Foreman in the fight. He was losing the eighth round when he knocked George out. He was not cruising to a win like the Falcons were, according to Mr. Made Up Irealavent Percentages, Joe M. says. If anything, Brady and the Patriots Rope-a-Doped the collapseing defense and the extremely poorly executing offense of the Falcons for the victory in the Super Bowl
