Basically, what Ali’s doing most of the fight (the famed rope-a-dope technique) is what Belle’s doing to get the Beast to soften up. And it only works if you’ve got the strength to take it, you have to take so much punishment that people are convinced you’re going to die and still be able to think “C’mon, I can do this all night!” Of course, maybe a spell with a ticking clock and bunch of anthropomorphised appliances with an incentive to help you along might help, too.

That fight proved once and for all that Ali could take a punch. A haymaker from even a tired Foreman would have knocked most of us doolalley.
