Sonny Liston v. Cassius Clay

You can't see it but if you had a Reel to Reel Tape Recorder, you could hear the February 1964 Heavyweight Championship Fight between the heavily favored champ, Sonny Liston, and a brash newcomer named Cassius Clay (before he changed his name to Muhammed Ali).

Les Keiter did the play-by-play and Howard Cosell did the color commentary and pre and post interviews.

After Clay stunned the world with a TKO in the 7th Round, while being interviewed by Cosell, he proclaimed 3 times, "I Am The Greatest!"

It's all on this tape!
