Rope-a-dope
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Rope-a-dope is a boxing fighting style used most famously by Muhammad Ali (who coined the term) in the Rumble in the Jungle against George Foreman.

Technique:
The rope a dope is performed by a boxer assuming a protected stance, in Ali's classic pose, lying against the ropes, and allowing their opponent to hit them in the hope that the opponent will become tired and make mistakes which the boxer can exploit in a counter attack.

Rope-a-dope is also commonly used to describe strategies in areas other than boxing, where one party purposely puts itself in what appears to be a losing position, and then becomes the eventual victor."

I grew up watching Ali fight. No question, he WAS the greatest.
He also claims to have composed the shortest poem ever written:

“Me...
Wheee!”
