Muhammad Ali vs Sonny Liston 1964

[@ramlangoddos4425]

Say whatever you want about Ali. Though he talked in a brash manner, he backed up his confidence with victories over higher ranked opponents or reigning world champions. A confident man who proved himself again and again.

[@anthonybryant1969]

This is one of Ali greatest accomplishments as a fighter that's why a young Ali beats Larry Holmes in his prime 🥊

[@Ena-kc5fx]

@@anthonybryant1969 ...they are not even in the same class. Larry does not even come close! Not to Liston, Patterson or a host of the other top tier fighters a young Ali demolished

[@yaderblen2890]

​@@Ena-kc5fxagreed 💯

[@65neosonic]

Ali of 64. 74.78 would beat Holmes but in 1980 he was to old and illness never should have been in ring

Ali in his prime? Can not be beaten!

[@Blackgodamen26]

Muhammad Ali PBUH OUR Ancestor greatest fighter that ever lived. I cannot get enough of this legendary event

[@ThePacotito1]

The young Ali was too fast and skilled for Liston who had vastly underestimated him.

[@ricsarmiento661]

ALI was a 7-1 underdog against LISTON. ALI'S first fight win against LISTON elevated him as the GREATEST PRO BOXER. Post fight when he talked to reporters, he asked "Who's the GREATEST?", EVERYONE was QUIET. ALI asked the same question again, a few reporters replied "You ARE" 🐐

[@raymind1313]

It was 8 to 1.

[@TheGsjoberg]

I remember as a kid listening to this fight on the radio and rooting for Liston. Hard to believe..

[@Wqk14xhddv7]

ALI ... the GREATEST... 👍

[@youtoo2233]

All that crazy stuff Ali was saying, you can tell he had been watching a lot of wrestling

[@CarlYork-wi7hl]

Did anyone else notice that when ever Ali got knocked down,he got right back up and continued to fight?

[@anthonyminor3160]

Yes I noticed that. He could take a punch. The GOAT.

[@cycleoflife565]

Joe Frazier broke Ali’s jaw early in their first fight that went to a decision for Frazier. Ali could take a punch and endure pain.

[@TheLarryBrown]

Uh....like....everyone? Your powers of observation are light years behind your powers of self-promotion.

@TheLarryBrown what are you talking about CLOWN 🤡

The poet and the beast

[@sixwingsram]

Ali was so wonderful and entertaining. If you can do it, its not bragging🎉😊❤❤❤

[@aarondigby5054]

Angelo Dundee did another great job as Clay's trainer and handler, advising him keeping Clay calm and telling Clay too just run, then changing sponges and water Angelo knew Clay was ahead in the fight and didn't want to blow it. Angelo knew Clay was too fast for Liston. Best fight of the 60s

[@temasek65]

Sonny was throwing bombs 💣 at Ali and if it was not for the swift sways and body movement of Ali, Ali would have been swatted like a fly!

[@TheLarryBrown]

Yeah, except he wasn't.

[@cardanotony1097]

Muhammad ALI simply the Greatest of all times ❤️💚❤️💚

[@stevensicherman4101]

Sonny might have been 45 years old

[@TheLarryBrown]

So then he was 12 when he won his first pro bout?

[@Ena-kc5fx]

He did 2 fights of the decade in one life time... forward to Ali. Foreman. Anyone else??

[@Lava1964]

Ali-Frazier III was a better fight that Ali-Foreman.

[@Ena-kc5fx]

@@Lava1964 ..personally am always intrigued when mind overcomes mattar.. it's the Foreman fight for me.

Ali knew how to entertain a crowd and put customers in the seats. I was surprised when I learned about his fighting with damaged hands.

[@kerrykelaher2607]

" you cant hit what you cant see !" ( ali s. " genius 👏

[@cycleoflife565]

Liston must have been the motivation for Clubber Lang. He appears to be throwing bombs with every punch.

Ali knew one thing that is still true, tough guys don't know how to handle "crazy" guys

[@lyndontheodore7204]

Something Ive noted since childhood... Sonny Liston lost to the same person under different names ..1St as Clay, then as Ali

[@adeniranpopoola3515]

Alli is too great, he is a man of God, God blessed.

[@martinhill2583]

A very strange finish even to this day. Ali didn't punish sonny that much surely?

[@Milo_stream-z9p]

Liston's camp cheated by puting chemical to distract Clay's vision. But karma is real

[@BigChicken849]

That's Not True

[@derrickburden1472]

Ali said I'll kiss his feet if he beat me lol

[@TheLarryBrown]

"If I lose I'll leave the country." Who said it first: Ali or Howard Hughes?

May, Allah rest in piece Muhsmmad Ali

[@ArkyMalarkey]

⁠@@alcipta4920 : ​Judging by your profile pic, you’re way too young to know what the hell you’re talking about, whereas I had my ear glued to a transistor radio that night on February 25th 1964, when the Louisville Lip was still officially named Cassius Marcellus Clay and billed accordingly. It wasn’t until March 6th, that Clay officially became Ali, and those are the simple facts. So once again, do some research before making a fool of yourself, and spare me the sanctimonious politically correct slave name bullshit. It’s totally beside the point and you know it.
