This is so far the greatest sport picture of the 20th century. This photo was shot by Sports Illustrated magazine photographer Neil Leifer on 25/05/1965 in Lewiston. It was taken during a rematch between a 23 years old heavyweight boxing champion Mohamed Ali and a 34 years old Sonny Liston from whol Ali snatched the title 15 months prior. Ali's right fist connected with Liston's chin and the latter went down in 1 min. 44 s. The photographer didn't see the punch. Yet he snapped  this greatest photo showing Ali towering over his vanquished opponent, taunting him. "Get up and fight, sucker!". Ali cried.  This image is more representative. Leifer conveys through it the defiance, endurance and Ali's dominance. Rest in Peace Mohamed Ali and may Allah offer you a boxing ring in paradise.
