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.

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.

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.

I love how the Intro is longer than the fight. Get everyone home in time for a good meal and kids to bed. (GOAT)

not so sure about that. first fight was scored dead even when liston quit and he was clearly out of form (little training, injuries)

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.

This is the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus Zechariah 13:7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones. The Shepherd here is Jesus. John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. This is the fulfillment of the prophecy. Matthew 26:31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “’I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ This happened near 30 AD. Hosea 6:1-2 Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. In prophecies 1day is equal to 1000 years. Which means after two thousand years Jesus will return again. And on the third day which is the 3rd millennium, we will live in his sight. We all know we cannot see God's face and live on Earth. So it's the second coming of Jesus. Luke 21:11 ► There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. We are the witnesses of all these things. From the death of Jesus to 2030 there are 2000 years. Jesus is coming soon. Let's all repent and turn from our old ways and turn to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Peace and Love to you all Easter is pagan, the resurrection day of the Lord is correct and please stop taking the Lord's name in vain like saying omg or using it with a bad word or taking it in anyway that is in vain. Even the devil trembles in his name and we shouldn't use the powerful name like that. For the people who says Jesus is not God here's a verse. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. God bless you all. Please spread this message to the ends of the 🌍

Robert Israel Kabakoff. Exactly. Liston was not coward like you. A brave man and warrior he was. Liston saved himself from death by not continuing that fight. Well from Ali in the ring that night anyways. Whatever happened to him after was not Ali's fault. Your welcome!

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.

Yeah this is the fact many people didn't know they think that ali was loved from starting and it is also very tough for many to see a black being so loudmouth and confident at that time it was very tough it requires supreme confidence like the greatest

At all of the people saying this was fixed, the remastered footage clearly shows a right hand landing on the chin and the entire upper body rippling. He could barely stand after that. They even let the fight continue on until Ali swarmed him again, THEN it was stopped. There was no fix here.

@ 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?"

Love the trash talk RIP GOAT thank you for everything you have done for the world and all the equality you preached.

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.

11:51 that moment was the legendary photo tooken

"I was getting ready to come in there with a pretty right but he was in the way" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Liston took the fall because he was simply there for the payroll to turn up, he knew Ali would run rings around him and thought "hell, I ain't going through that again I'm going down in the first".

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.

What a mess! Jersey Joe runs off to see the timekeeper, leaving the two boxers staring at each other. Oh well, they start fighting again then he returns to break up the party. Amateur set up to say the least.

Horrible officiating. Walking around the ring chasing Ali during the 10 count, stands up the fighters lets them go back at it, goes and asks someone in the corner if it was 10 seconds. Pretty amateur for a HWC of the world title fight.

The legend. I love you muhammad ali..

Some former Boxers are introduced before the fight, here is what they and other boxers said about the Knockout: Joe Louis"Ali landed a right ,but it was no good,He was on his toes, you don't get much power on your toes". Henry Cooper "The punch was little more than a wrist movement, off balance when he threw it." Jack Sharkey" The punch couldn't have cracked an egg, or knock out my grandson" Floyd Patterson" It was a good lick,He really hit him". Rocky Marciano" I never saw the punch".

It took Liston 15 sec to get to his feet. Game over.

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

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.

What’s amazing is how short a punch it was, but sometimes they’re the most powerful.

The punch itself an absolute defensive reflex yet it somehow, was the shot Listen went and stayed down from.... not convincing. And if it was a fixed fight.

It wasn't really a hard right for of all. Plus, Ali wasn't really known for his punching power and Liston could take a good punch. This was a guy after all that when he was in prison guards would beat him over the head with billy clubs and couldn't knock him down. Ali gives him a slide right and he falls down, staggers back up and falls back down again? All that coupled with Liston's known mob ties make it suspect. No way of knowing if they're right, but it does make a compelling argument for calling it into question.
