Neil Leifer

On May 25, 1965, Sports Illustrated photographer Neil Leifer snapped a photo of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali taking his opponent Sonny Liston out in a boxing ring in Lewiston, Maine. “I was obviously in the right seat, but what matters is I didn’t miss,” Leifer was quoted saying. Ali was 23 at the time and had just beaten 34-year-old Liston a minute and 44 seconds into the first round.
