"Rope-a-dope" is a boxing strategy that involves a fighter pretending to be trapped against the ropes while actually conserving energy and allowing the opponent to tire themselves out with ineffective punches. The term was popularized by Muhammad Ali during his 1974 fight against George Foreman, known as the "Rumble in the Jungle."
Ali leaned against the ropes and absorbed Foreman's punches, then took advantage of Foreman's fatigue in the later rounds to win the fight. This strategy highlights the importance of endurance, strategy, and psychological tactics in boxing.
