Ali’s body back home in Louisville

– Stellar career –

Ali’s career stretched from 1960 to 1981 and he retired with a record of 56-5, including such historic bouts as the “Rumble in the Jungle” against George Foreman in 1974 in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire).

“He hit me with a quick one-two, knocked me down to the canvas and my whole life changed,” Foreman told CNN of the epic “Rumble.”

“I was devastated,” he said. “Little did I know I would make the best friend I ever had in my life.”

Other defining moments of Ali’s career included two knockouts of Sonny Liston and his rivalry with Joe Frazier.
