$( years ago? Looking at my keyboard, I'm thinking that means 49 years and holding the shift key down. It does seem like a long time, nearly my whole life.

REmember it well. I was a senior in high school and several of us listened to the fight on the radio. Sonny Liston was supposed to be the baddest MF boxer on earth at the time.

Most of us were pulling for Liston. Clay was too mouthy to be liked back then.
He was yet to become the popular figure of later years.

Remember Ernie Terell who wouldn't call him Muhamed Ali..."WHAT'S MY NAME?" Punished him for that.

The mid 60's through the mid 70's was a true golden age of heavyweight boxing.
Search youtube...Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Lyle, etc....
