Personally, I would have to go with his 8th round KO over the fearsome George Foreman. Foreman had just devastated Frazier with six knockdowns in a 2nd round KO. I believe big George was something like 40-0 37 KO when stepping into the ring to face Ali. Cassius Clay's first win over Sonny Liston was also another classic. The Thrilla in Manilla will always be one of boxings classic fights. These are his top 3 victories IMO...
What was Cassius Clay's/Muhammad Ali's best win?

Liston and Foreman.
Liston was champ and expected to destroy Ali.
Foreman had crushed Frazier (who'd beat Ali) and Norton both in two rounds. Him fighting Ali was just showing Ali a little respect and letting him make some money, everyone thought he'd KOd Muhammad like Norton and Frazier.Last edited by paulf; 01-05-2011, 01:00 PM.Comment
