My Favorite Picture



This is my favorite picture is one of the most famous picture of all time and declared one of the greatest sports pictures. It was taken by Neil Leifer in 1965 during the fight between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston, basically it shows the moment when Liston falls knocked out by a “phantom punch” and Ali stands over him bragging his victory.

It’s my favorite because I am a great admirer of muhammad ali, both for his sporting career and for what he meant outside the ring as a great activist for the civil rights of the African-American community, as well as his rejection of war and admission to the armed forces, that he lost his best years as a boxer in 1966, when he refused recruitment to go to the Vietnam War, claiming that "I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong… No Viet Cong ever called me nigger".

See you the next time!!
