1. Foreman - George had destroyed inside two rounds the only men (Frazier and Norton) to beat Ali. George was the young champ, Ali the older guy. Foreman was an 8-1 favorite to win. Ali's only hope was to maybe last the distance and get a decision. Instead, Ali scored a KO.

2. Liston - Sonny was the dominant champ. He'd beaten the top names of the era (Patterson twice, Folley, Machen, Williams twice). Ali was one of the youngest guys to challenge for the title and had to get off the deck to win against ordinary Henry Cooper in his last fight. Liston was an 8-1 favorite to win. Ali's only hope was to go the distance and maybe win a decision. Instead, Ali scored a TKO.

3. Frazier III - The match decided who won their trilogy. Turned out to be one of the greatest fights of the 20th Century. Ali was decked and lost a clear decision in fight one, and he scored a close decision over Frazier in fight two. This time Ali left it all in the ring during the championship rounds and scored a TKO win in the last great fight by both.

Three fights against three Hall of Fame heavyweight champions ... three stoppage wins.
