Subject
Ali's Undefeated Championship Status
Description
In the collage of pictures on the right side of the page, Ali’s actions shots tell the story of his successful boxing career before his exile from the boxing world. All four photos show him completely dominating his opponents. The upper left photo shows him making contact with George Chuvalo’s face. The upper right photo was taken at his fight against Zora Folley, which would be his last before his exile. The last photo on the bottom is of his swift defeat of Floyd Patterson. The most iconic photo, however, is center stage in the collage and shows a strong, muscular Ali, with his arm curled and his face frozen mid-guttural scream, standing over Sonny Liston, the boxer that he took the heavyweight championship title from.
