Look at the punch Ali threw @1:34. Former Heavyweight Champ James J. Braddock, said "I have a feeling that this guy (Ali) is a lot better than any of us gave him credit for," Braddock said. "It isn't the knockout punch that sticks in my mind as much as a punch he let go (earlier). ... It was a right to Liston's jaw and it shook him to his shoetops. For all we know, it could have been the one that set up the knockout” That punch at 1:34 is what Braddock was talking about, a hard right hand that hurt Liston. Ali planted his foot and threw his entire body into it. Liston’s thighs look rubber to me right after the punch landed. The knockout blow came at 2:10, 36 seconds later. It “…had so much force it lifted Liston's left foot, upon which most of his weight was resting, well off the canvas.' - sportswriter Tex Maule. Liston never saw the punch - it hit him in the temple and he walked into it.

Although I think Ali would have won regardless with his superior athleticism. It is hard to believe that this fight was not fixed. Everyone that managed Sonny Liston was directly involved with the mafia so if anybody would have the motive to throw a fight it would be him. Ali was never known as a first round finisher and Liston at the time was considered the toughest man on the planet so the odds of Ali finishing him in the first round would have to be at least 50-1 odds. I think Listons corner knew he won’t have a chance and made him take a dive with the first clean punch he took knowing they would make far more money. Boxers did not get paid a lot back then so Liston probably could have made far more money taking the dive than even winning the fight. You throw in the fact it was the most controversial punch in history with a questionable roll by Liston it is a no brainer for me. I do believe the first fight was legitimate but this was fixed

In slow motion that Muhammad Ali punch was exactly a Bruce Lee “Floating Punch” technique from Bruce Lee ‘Jeet Kune Do’ Martial arts arsenals. However this was before Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do. Muhammad Ali was ahead of his time. Muhammad Ali called this punch the “anchor Punch”. I remember on TV during the 1960s, Ali got that “anchor punch “ from an African American actor name Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry, better known as Stepin Fetchit.

the only top quality fighters he faced beat him joe fraser and ken norton.the heat beat george forman. did i mention larry holmes? how the refs. let him hold behind the head goes to show you how much they would let him go because his mouth put asses in the seats. he was they greatest salesman not the greatest boxer. if he was the greatest boxer he should have never lot a fight. let alone many. besides that he was a piece of shit draft dodger and america hater. f--k him.

There will never be another Ali. R.I.P.

Liston truly WAS a beast! But every expert and analyst can easily see he took a dive in this one.

@marknorris1381

Of course he did. Liston's ties with the mob, his own criminal past, being hit was a light arm punch/prod without any real leverage, the corny act falling back down when he tried to get up. If it looks like a fix, smells like a fix, feels like a fix, it most likely is a fix.

RIP to both these legends.

The confidence to face any fighter inside a 20 × 20 ring and winning the fight is an incredible achievement. Ali the greatest.

"From when i started to punch to where the punch landed was quick as an eye blink , at the moment everyone blinked , so no one saw the punch" - Muhammad Ali

One of the most epic fights in history

That's why he was the greatest. Also, the best example of what a referee must never do after the KO!

I watched this down scene many times. Ali is best boxer for me. RIP.

Muhammad Ali! Float like a butterfly sting like a bee! Greatest champion the world has ever gotten the chance to have. His style, intelligence, defence and offence changed the history of boxing. A true legend of the world.

Ali era especialista em desmontar brutamontes. Nos tempos em que o boxe era uma nobre arte, Ali era um mestre.

He took a dive. Nobody falls , lands on a knee, rolls over on his back and spreads his hands out

Notice how Liston's front foot is in mid air, and he's pushing off his back foot so he was essentially in limbo when Ali caught him. His chin was tasked with taking the full force of Ali's chopping right That's why he went down. Perfect timing from the best in the business!

Indeed, Liston did fall down cause he was off balance. But that punch was never strong enough to crush a grape, let alone keep a man like Liston down.

Michael Trumph. Get a brain already. The counter had enough force to stun Liston and put him on the canvas. Maybe you don’t even know what a grape is. 🤷🏻‍♀️ smarten up.

With restored video, it is evident the punch was real, and timed perfectly. BTW, Ali, while cocky etc...never threw a late punch or one when the man was down...at least not in any fight I've seen of him. Ali, like Jordan and Tiger, Jack, Bolt, Ruth etal...these athletes just make me question my own toughness and will to do my best. Especially Ali...the Greatest.

@@Xavier_the_Boxing_Nerd ,that's just the point he didn't knock him out when it was far easier to do that than keep fighting and hitting him shouting whats my name. all the experts from howard cosel to jimmy the greek agree that ali should have put Terrell out of his misery by knocking him out but instead ali mercilessly punished Terrell relentlessly all the time shouting WHATS MY NAME WHATS MY NAME. there is a clip on youtube where ali and Terrell are interviewed by Cosell and during the interview Terrell insists on calling him cassius clay and ali vowed in the interview that he was going to punish Terrell in the ring. which is actually a prediction that ali kept to thus showing the prowess of ali over all the heavyweights at that time. As for me for the record I agree with everything ali did that night even if it wasn't sportsman like. Terrell was nothing but an uncle tom he deserved to be punished even if it wasn't the right thing to do.

Pure genius. What he said: he accomplished. Muscles with Brain.

Ali introduced to the world boxing is a sport "speed ,power ,technique" that's all it is now !

Overhand right. Ali's knockout punch. Same punch did for foreman.

@mikeprevost8650

Bad analogy. That fight was outdoors in hot and humid Zaire. This fight was indoors in Maine, in May. Foreman was almost out on his feet from exhaustion when Ali delivered the knockout punch. Liston here hardly broke a sweat. Most importantly, Ali came off the ropes and pounded the crap out of Big George in the last 30 seconds of every round before the knockout. Foreman got whipped. Here, that right was the first and only punch that Ali landed.

Fixed or not, Listion definitely threw the fight. Sonny was and still is one of the toughest boxers ever, read his biography, the man was beaten hard as a kid, made his own gang and served jail time in the 50s, that's like a death sentence for black men at that time. To be able to go through all of that and be a champion takes tremendous will power and endurance, no way a jab like that from Ali knocked him out

Fixed my ass... Liston knew that he was gonna get his ass lit up before the first bell to start the fight.. Look at listons demeanor.. To the naysayers saying that the fight was fixed, imagine seeing a prime Ali saying his prayer and starts dancing.. Liston knew he was gonna get his ass kicked.. Ali said himself that liston was a harder puncher, had a better jab, and a better defense than a prime George Foreman.. This man was a very special and extraordinary athlete and a complete pugilist specialist.. Gave us ultimate spectacles of boxing ability for our entertainment and suffered with parkinsons syndrome until hos death at 74.. Its a shame how some folks are so ignorant to the point of disrespecting the greatest of all times...
