WATCH: Muhammad Ali's milestone fights
'The Greatest' boxer's prolific 61-fight career featured bouts that are considered the greatest in history.
Muhammad Ali's prolific 61-fight career featured bouts that are considered the greatest in history: a trilogy with Joe Frazier that produced "The Fight of the Century" and the "Thrilla in Manila," and the "The Rumble in the Jungle" with George Foreman, among many others.
Ali's bouts defined the golden era of heavyweight boxing. Here's a look at just a few of them, in chronological order:
FIGHT: Ali vs. Sonny Liston DATE: Feb. 25, 1964
WHERE: Convention Hall, Miami
STAKES: WBA/WBC Heavyweight Championship
THE HYPE: Liston was the heavyweight champion at the time of the fight. A first-round knockout of former champion Floyd Patterson in 1962, followed by the same result in a matchup 10 months later, had built Liston into the most intimidating fighter of his day.
Ali, still known as Cassius Clay, was a fast-talking 22-year-old challenger known as "The Louisville Lip." He had won the light heavyweight gold medal at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, but had been knocked down by journeyman Sonny Banks early in his career, and again by Henry Cooper.
Many believed Clay would be no match against Liston.
THE BUILDUP: Clay seemingly went berserk at the weigh-in for his championship challenge, and some observers attributed his actions to fear and suggested the fight should be canceled.
THE FIGHT: Liston could not handle Ali's speed, left jabs and quick rights to the head. Ali almost quit after the fourth round, contending there had been foul play. During the round, Ali got something in his eyes, probably liniment from Liston's shoulder, which the champion later claimed he had injured.
"Cut my gloves off, I want to prove to the world there's dirty work afoot," trainer Angel Dundee says Ali told him in the corner. Dundee refused, and Ali stayed out of harm's way in the fifth round and became champion when Liston quit on his stool after the sixth.
