Extra Description & Notes |
Muhammad Ali is considered by many to be the greatest boxer of all time, as well as one of the world's most famous individuals. He became the first man to win the heavyweight title three times and revolutionized the sport by introducing a style that went against many of the game's teachings. In 1964, he ''Shocked the World'' by defeating the seemingly unbeatable Sonny Liston for the title. Ali would reconfirm his abilities when he knocked out Liston in their rematch in Lewiston, Maine on May 25, 1965. Just over two minutes into the first round, Ali landed an overhand right, a punch he would later call the ''anchor punch,'' knocking Liston to the canvas. This 16x20 photo commemorates this historic moment. |
