    That’s crazy. The actual fight was before my time but I seem to recollect a 25th Anniversary celebration for this fight, which would’ve been back in ‘89. Boy, does time march on...

    I picked Ali in this one. I was 5 at the time. Probably my last winner

    An absolutely amazing performance by Ali in that first fight. Outside of Leotis Martin laying an old Liston out, no one dominated Liston like that.

    Liniment on his gloves was the ultimate decider against a 56 year old Liston.
