The first fight between Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston was named as the 4th greatest sporting moment of the 20th century by Sports Illustrated. That fight took place on February 1964 and ended when Liston called it quits at the start of the 7th round after taking a beating in the 6th. The second fight was also huge, controversial, and a permanent fixture of boxing history.
Ali added injury to insult.
