That picture is iconic. It symbolizes David beating Goliath. Symbolizes overcoming the impossible. At that time the critics thought Liston was going to kill Ali. Not only did Ali beat him he even knocked him out.

Not rlly David Vs Goliath bc Ali was taller and bigger than Liston

There's no real date of birth of Sonny Liston but I think he's at least 2 years older than he really is. I think 1930 he was born maximum 1928 no lower

Liston was 31 when he fought Ali for the first fight. He was 32 when he fought Ali for the second time. At the time of their first fight, Liston was considered one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and was considered the best boxer in the world.

@@ahmadjauhar4562 It was fixed in the iconic photo he’s not saying his win he is saying get up sucker don’t take the money from the mob. But in reality they had kidnapped Liston’s wife and kid. So he had to take the fall. Ali would’ve probably still won but it was rigged.

bobeagle007 to Ali's credit it seemed he didnt want the fight to be fixed, I believe he actually wanted Liston to fight like he wanted to win, thats why hes so impassioned in the photo, in the video you can see him berating Liston right after he took the easy fall

The arm across the chest was the end result of Ali motioning Liston to get up after being rocked by a counter right. Do some simple research. Watch the fight. Geeez.
