That night, he was the most devastating fighter who ever lived.” – Broadcaster Howard Cosell. Muhammad Ali floored plodding 33-year-old Cleveland Williams four times and stopped him in the third round #OnThisDay in 1966 in the seventh defence of his world heavyweight title. Williams, who still had a policeman’s bullet in his body after a scuffle with a Texas highway patrolman in 1964 and was lucky to be alive, was no match for the undefeated 24-year-old champion. “I made one big mistake,” said Williams. “I dropped my left hand and he nailed me. I don’t know why I did it.” #boxing #boxingnews #boxinghistory #boxingkings #boxingheads #boxingheritage #muhammadali #cassiusclay #clevelandwilliams #aliwilliams #hisfinesthour #thegreatest #heavyweightchamp #knockout #kokings #ali (at Astrodome) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqK0iOkByGY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t8mx9o13b7g
