    I SHOOK UP THE WORLD!!!

    Great buildup before the fight, the most famous postmatch interview ever and the fight changed boxing history as much as any one fight ever did. But the fight itself was actually kind of boring and disappointing, especially the ending. The definition of anti-climatic.
    Don´t let this thread die....It´s a great idea!

    To be fair to Liston he was a old man by the time he was champion and when he faced Ali he was really old i read alot of about him. But since there is no real date on when he was born i go with his mother which would of made Liston like 40 which is very old for boxing pluse with his life style it did not help.

    Thoughts on the controversial ending of this fight?

    Thanks to those who have responded/repped so far.
