On February 6, 1967 at the old Houston Astrodome, Muhammad Ali, The Greatest, the WBC World Heavyweight Champion, unified the crown against WBA World Heavyweight Champion, Ernie Terrell.
Weeks before the fight on ABC TV, with the late Howard Cossell interviewing both combatants, Ali got angry and furious because Terrell called him by his former last name: Clay.
Terrell paid the price for 15 long rounds.
Your thoughts.
