*Muhammad Ali is the brother of fellow boxer [[Rahman Ali]], the father of female world champion [[Laila Ali]], and the uncle of [[Ibn Ali]].
*Ali's first fight with [[Joe Frazier]] indirectly led to four deaths. During the bout itself in New York, two spectators died of heart attacks. In Malaysia, Abdul Ghani Bachik was reported to have leaped up from his chair while watching the fight on paid television and shouted, "My God, Cassius Clay has fallen!" He then suffered a fatal heart attack. In Milan, Italy, Erio Borghisiani was found dead in front of his television just hours after viewing the fight on paid television.

== Legacy ==
A 1974 ''World Boxing'' reader poll ranked Ali as the 5th greatest heavyweight in history, historian Nat Loubet ranked him as the 9th greatest heavyweight of all-time in 1975, and John Durant, author of ''The Heavyweight Champions'', ranked him as the 4th greatest heavyweight of all-time in 1976. BBC Sports, former WBA president Bill Brennan, ''The Ring'' editor-in-chief Nigel Collins, former ''Boxing Illustrated'' editor-in-chief Herbert G. Goldman, ''Showtime'' commentator Steve Farhood, and historian Arthur Harris all consider Ali to be the greatest heavyweight of all-time.

Gene Fullmer vs. Rocky Castellani

2011-12-28T22:20:06Z

Loverstays: die in lastin pain amen

<fight>18001</fight>u ingrate dirty dogs
how stupid r u motherfuckers not to check facts first!
"The one judge who voted against him may cost young Gene Fullmer a chance for a rematch with Eduardo Lausse of Argentina. While Fullmer seemed to be breezing to a bruising 10 round victory Wednesday night over Rocky Castellani, judge Charlie Bill saw the fight as a Castellani victory. His score was at odds with those of the other judge and referee, both of whom had Fullmer on top by a comfortable margin. The winner of the bout was supposed to get a shot at Lausse. Because Fullmer gained only a split verdict, and because he brought out the tiger in Castellani in a rousing finish, a rematch between those same two seemed more probable. Fullmer, a wildcat who threw punches from everywhere, was at his best when he worked on Castellani's stomach. The Clevelander tried his usual style of grabbing for his opponent, but soon changed the tactic when Fullmer sailed in with the left, then followed with rights over the back." -United Press

*Unofficial UP scorecard: 98-91 for Fullmer

Post fight comment:

* "I just don't like to have someone running around who has beaten me, that's all. I'll get to Robinson in time." -Gene Fullmer, stating how he preferred a rematch with Eduardo Lausse than a shot at world middleweight champ Sugar Ray Robinson

It was action filled bloody bout for all 10 rounds, it was the first live coast to coast radio & tv broadcast bout of 1956. ''The Ring'' named it the second best fight of 1956.

Tommy Jackson vs. Bob Baker (1st meeting)

[[File:Tommy Jackson vs. Bob Baker .Fasan.jpg|350px|thumb|right|]]
<fight>75447</fight>
Well Over 4000 people were in attendance. Only heavyweights were allowed to fight on this night just like on September 21 1955. Hurricane won by slimmest of scores. If Baker had won final round, bout would have been drawn. This fight ended Baker's 13 consecutive winning streak. Jackson scored an upset in this very close bout by taking a split decision from Baker (45-5) who was the number one ranked outstanding opponent & the only logical contender for Rocky Marciano's heavyweight title from April 1955 to February 1956.
At the time, Archie Moore was returned to the rankings as light heavyweight champ by NBA, however Ring magazine still considered him light heavyweight champ & both top heavyweight & lightweight contender.
