Donald Robinson's photograph of Muhammad Ali standing over the toppled Sonny Liston remains one of the most iconic sports images of the 20th century. In the first round of this 1965 title fight Ali floored Liston with a punch so fast Ali himself did not know if it landed. This bout cemented Ali’s reputation as America’s preeminent heavyweight pugilist. Presented is this 16 x 20 black and white photograph of this iconic image with Muhammad Ali signing his name in black marker across the bright white shorts he wore for this fight. This black and white photograph has been matted and framed to a dimension of 22 ½ x 26 ½ inches. The matting of this photo crops it to the top of Ali’s head and the bottom of Liston not showing the ring floor beneath him. Please note that there are some scratches on the front on all sides of the frame in various spots. This does not detract from the signature of Ali. This item comes with a COA from Mounted Memories.
