    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.

      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.
