Well 41 years ago today Cassius Clay became the World Heavyweigh Champion when in the 7th round Sonny Liston refused to leave his corner

One of the greatest upsets in boxing history

People more knowledgable about boxing might argue but he was the greatest boxer I've ever seen. Beautiful to watch & so light on his feet for a heavyweight. he could literally dance rings round his opponents. Shame he didn't know when to pack it in.

He was without a doubt the greatest heavyweight ever, graceful, stylish and with a fantastic sense of humour and wit that unnerved his opponents.
I grew up with boxing as my grandfather was a middle-weigh champ in his day, and he always said Clay was the best he'd ever seen....

I actually think Rocky Marciano was the greatest heavyweight ever, not Ali.
