How Things Break: Ali fought Liston 50 years ago

  That was one of the best articles I've read in a while. While I think the article could have had a better title, and it doesn't dispose any 'useful' information, it is incredibly well written, and interesting.

  I was a little kid but I well remember that fight where Ali became champion. All my peers adored Ali but adults, while not liking Liston in the least, wanted to see him keep his title and silence the young Olympian for good. The only thing I can liken it to was if some fast talking braggart spouting poetry suddenly upset Mike Tyson in his absolute prime. No boxing experts gave Ali a chance at all of winning.

  A remarkable article. I have no real interest in boxing or photography, but this was fascinating and thought provoking.
