That fight was fixed.
There was a cover picture on Life magazine as I recall that showed Liston had swung and missed when Ali hit him and lifted Liston’s front foot with all the weight on it high enough off the canvas for the shadow of it to show.
He went down after Ali lifted him completely off his feet. That was not faked !! Go look for the picture and see for yourself. I can remember that picture clearly as evidence that Ali had hit him and absolutely nailed him.
