Ali showed he’s an a-hole. He was all over Liston on the knockdown and the referee can’t properly count as he’s to busy trying to keep Ali in the corner for 10 seconds.

It's a shame Liston wasn't remembered as the great heavyweight champion he could have been if it wasn't for Ali, but his record speaks for itself. He won 35 of 36 fights before his first fight with Ali and 15 of 16 fights after his rematch with Ali. He beat all the top heavyweight contenders before he became champion like Nino Valdez, Cleveland "Big Cat" Williams, Zorah Foley, and Eddie Machen. Truly one of the greats.

At 13:48 it looks like Ali turned to someone in his corner and said "did I hit him?". Man was he a thing of beauty in this round, speed, movement, fast punches...weiged in at 206. The best info I've put together over the years is that the fix was in but Ali had no idea and that Liston went down earlier than planned because it was obvious he was gonna get " whipped.". Great upload even at 240 pixels. Think I've seen the fight in color somewhere. That photographer should have won a Pulitzer for snapping that classic shot so fast.

That’s what I’m saying. Liston was obviously throwing the fight - for whatever reason - the mob, the nation of islam, or he was just plain tired of being a public punching bag. But the fight ends on the refs’s count. Not someone at ringside. The ref was doing his job pushing an excited and mad Ali (who knew he didn’t connect that hard) to a neutral corner this preventing him from counting. The whole affair is sordid and looking back kinda sad that such a great and anticipated fight ended the way it did.

Ali said in his book that the reason he was yelling at Liston to get up was because the crowd was shouting "Fix!" and he didn't want anything to think he was a part of it. Recently it was said that Liston should not have been counted out because Ali had not gone to the neutral corner, which is why the ref had not been counting, and this was proper. It was the timekeeper who informed the ref that Liston should have been counted out, and that was an error. Liston later said that he went down intentionally because of concerns about the Muslims, etc., but most people think that was sour grapes. A lot of people say Ali's punch never landed, but you can clearly see it in the film. A quick right hand over Liston's left jab. He never saw it coming. That's the one that always gets you. I think Liston is an all time great. But Ali beat him twice, fair and square.

The punch was not nearly hard enough to knock out a bull like Liston. He was probably ordered to take a dive by the mob. Notice the bad acting when he tried to get up and then fell back down. Also, Jersey Joe Wolcott was an incompetent referee, certainly not someone you would pick for a championship fight. He never should have started to count until Ali went to a neutral corner. In addition, I don't think Liston was on the canvas for the full 10 seconds. In short, a complete travesty.

Liston wasn't in the same league with a 23 year old Ali, and its a shame there couldn't have been a better venue to display the greatness of a fighter who would spend the majority of his remaining prime out of the ring.

@ 11:44 and even as a kid, I always thought that the way Ali raised his right hand was a signal to Liston that he was about to throw the phantom punch. However, I still think the punch was harder than what people can see in this video. Slowed down (in the color version of this), you can see that punch sent a shock wave through Liston's body. Here is the thing though. Liston got up like he wanted to still fight, but Jersey Joe stopped it. Keep in mind that Jersey Joe didn't ever really start the count. Part of me thinks Liston took a dive, but another part tells me, "If he took a dive, why did he even get back up?"

He destroys his opponents with combination of fast punches. I believe Liston didnt want to be Ali's punching bag like the first fight and decided to take the fall.

Ali didn’t put any of his weight behind the punch that dropped Liston so I can see why some people think Liston took a dive. Even Ali didn’t think the punch should have dropped Liston. But a short jabbing (almost glancing) blow like this from a powerful man like Ali can drop somebody if it happens to connect with the spot where the jaw attaches to the skull.

In classical boxing literature, the chin is called "the point" for a reason: it produces maximum torque on the other fighter's head. Ali squared off, and Liston walked into the punch: this wouldn't be the last time (by a long shot) that Ali beat the hell out of someone while walking backwards. Could Liston have gotten up? I dunno, maybe. That's not Ali's problem though. I find the fascination with Sonny Liston's dirty laundry kind of weird.

I don't think Ali was in on it, but a lot of signs point to Liston taking a dive, including Ali's initial reaction to Liston going down and Liston's excessive flopping on the ground. For an exceptionally tough fighter like Liston, betting on him getting KO'ed in the first round surely paid off huge for some mob characters somewhere. It's already accepted by many (including the FBI) that Clay-Liston 1 was likely to have been fixed as well. Ali seems to have never denied that it was, either, choosing to avoid interviews on the subject.

I got the first fight confused with the second. He definitely didn’t dive in that one. But this one he definitely did, you see him holding back

It shouldn't have been stopped. They always start counting after they get the other boxer out if the way. If the count had started when it was supposed to, be got up between the count of 8 and 9. Of course he was going to lose and probably within a minute or so, but it shouldn't have been stopped.

No way that was a knock down punch. When Liston tried to get up and fell back down, it was obviously an act.

I always think there was gambling money before hand to predetermine the result. Liston after the fight looked totally unconcerned about the result as if to say ' I knew exactly how this would end'. Glad I didn't pay to be in the audience.

I remember in the week leading up to the fight, the training sessions were open to the public. My father took me and my brother to watch Clay jump rope, shadow box, and throw a medicine ball around. I was 6 years old and didn't really know all that was going on, but i can still close my eyes and see it. My father worked security at the Arena. He was at the fight. I was home listening to the radio. It still amazes me that one of the most ironic images in sports was taken that night, in my home town.

It's true, that it was very difficult for white folks to take black folks seriously back in 1960s America. IMO, A black "prize fighter" just DID NOT change his name. It was confusing & rejected for a very long time. But when Ali referred to "Cassius Clay" as his former "slave"name, white folks really got worried that all blacks would try & emulate him. His desire for the freedom to choose even a fuckin' legal name & choice of religion for himself was rejected by all these hippocrates! An appalling time in post slavery America. Elder citizens &"good ol' boys" just despised Ali's bravery &steadfast conviction in something he had every RIGHT to change. He freed himself! Fought his way, and would not be quiet about it. America listened in amazment at his pre-fight predictions(which mostly came true) & waited for ANYBODY to "shut him up"! They would not. He made lots of people rich! He is a positive role model for all enslaved people. It's unfortunate in life that men must struggle to prove they are truly born equal. No matter what the U.S. constitution evidently proclaims. He is rightfully a true legend.
