7. Ali vs Liston 2
The two words that will forever be associated with the second bout between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston are, as you probably know, “Phantom Punch.” Ali downed Liston with a snap of his right hand in the first round, and some in attendance did not even see the blow that knocked Liston down and out. It has, thus, been suspected to this day by some that Liston took a dive and conceded the fight for whatever reason. We will probably never know for sure what happened on that infamous night, as both Ali and Liston are sadly no longer with us.
