1964 Important photograph of Cassius Clay as he appeared at the center of the ring in Miami, just moments after he defeated Sonny Liston and became the champion of the world. He is seen showing off his brash personality and proclaimed "I'm the Greatest", perhaps for the first time. Issued by the United Press and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, this is from one of the most important fights of all time and presents beautifully.
