Clay and the geek!

This may have been the greatest photograph in boxing history, the one after Mohammed Ali's knockout shot to Cleveland Williams to land him in the third round of the 1966 title defense. However, this picture is the only one commented by photographer Neil Leaver on the wall of his house among the thousands of photos he took for more than 40 years in his career.
This was before the time of satellite and aircraft cameras, Neil Lever captured this image through a camera hung 24 meters above the ring in Houston, and then the camera was turned on at the right moment by remote control.
The defeated Cleveland Williams, who was ranked 49th in the top 100 boxers of the 20th century, was always unlucky and was trying to recover from the crises he experienced, most recently when he was shot by a policeman who was seriously injured when He resisted arrest in a traffic accident. The bullet that Cleveland received in his stomach caused permanent damage to the kidneys, removed ten feet from his tiny intestines and damaged the nerves of his left foot.
Cleveland tried to recuperate from injury and return to the ring. Mohammed Ali fell in this match but lost but did not give up. He returned many times despite winning a number of matches but suffered severe losses. He retired in 1972 with a record of 78 wins and 13 losses. , And one tie, suffered after his retirement from difficult financial conditions until he was forced to work as a truck driver in the 1980s, and in 1999 Cleveland died when he was hit by a speeding car and fled.
