When We Were Kings


Ming Chan

1.      Why did Norman Mailer describe Ali’s dressing room as “The Last Supper” before the fight?
2.      Why is the ‘right hand lead’ that Ali performed so unexpected? What is its effect on Foreman?
3.      Both being a black man, why did people in Zaire favored Ali and not Foreman? How is Ali being portrayed by the people?
4.      What do you think about the match between Ali and Foreman? Ali claims several times that he’s going to ‘dance’ when fighting Foreman and makes everyone thinks that way. However he chose to perform the ‘right hand lead’ and provoked Foreman during the match. Do you think the plan was premeditated or was it unpremeditated like Mailer suggested? What are your thoughts?
