Muhammad Ali versus Sonny Liston [1965]

There’s a fascinating story behind this photo. It was taken by legendary photographer Neil Lifer of Sports Illustrated. SI sent two photogs to the match, the younger lifer and his boss — Herb Scharfman — who is visible between Ali’s legs in this iconic picture.

it should not read “…lied down for money,” but rather “…LAY down for money.’ It is true that a person does LIE down, but the past is LAY

edited, thank you.

I like to know if anyone is interested in a film of famous boxer. Ali in early 1960’s during world fair in New Your City in the 16mm film. It showed Ali was trying to sign autograph a piece of paper but was hit by a rock throw by someone and Ali dropped the paper a onto a ” world heavyweight” bus below him. Ali was standing on a hotel balcony a above the bus. Ali bended over the railing and picked up the paper. Please let me know if you know someone interested. I can give more information afterward. Thanks Harold Bracy

You should go to tinyurl.com/... and credit the photographer from UPI who made this.

I would like to know if and where you can find replacement copies of certifications on this exact autographed photo. I have this 16 x 20 autographed photo & it is numbered but have misplaced it’s certification paperwork. Where can I go to get a copy of this?

Is that Alfred Hitchcock between Muhammad’s legs?

I luv u Mohammed ali

to whom it may concern,
i have a autographed photo of the ali-liston fight in 1965. the photo is similar to the one on this website. however, ali’s right arm is still across his chest pointing to his left arm. i can’t seem to find that photo anywhere. a friend told me that that particular shot is rare. the photographer only printed a limited number. if this is true, can you let me know. also, what is this photo, with cert of auth worth. any and all information is welcomed.
thank you for your time,
sincerely,

louis greco
