Talk:Muhammad Ali vs. Sonny Liston

message: The photo is captioned "Ali taunts a canvas ridden Liston" but nothing in the article says anything about any taunting. Was this the fight were Ali was standing over his opponent saying "What's my name? What's my name?" Hi There 01:08, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

message: It could be pointed out as well, most pro-phantom fans may have only seen Ali's left hand, missing a falling Liston (along with not seeing the connecting right hand). GoodDay 20:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Could someone provide a more complete introduction at the top of the page? For someone who is unfamiliar with boxing it says almost nothing, and one shouldn't have to read the entire article just to get a general understanding of what this is all about.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.237.24 (talk) 06:06, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  More References 

message: Okay, this is happening repeatedly - folks keep adding the following:
 At that point the bout was equal on the official scorecards of the referee and two judgeshttp://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Sonny_Liston_vs._Cassius_Clay_(1st_meeting).
I went through that source, and it doesn't appear to support the claim; I've been removing this claim (with information in the comments section) but don't want to get dinged for 3RR. I could be misinterpreting, so I'd love another opinion. Anyone? NekoKatsun (talk) 20:07, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scorecards? 

message: I have tagged this as needing citations for the uncited quotes allegedly from Jose Torres and Jim Murray (sportswriter).
I arrived at this article after seeing on UK TV (Sky Sports) an advertisement using images of Clay's fight with the narrator stating "...it became known as 'The Phantom Punch'." This perplexed me greatly as we knew it as something entirely different in England. The fight was screened live by satellite on BBC TV in the middle of the night.
These weasel words 'it became known as' suggest the advertising agency used Wikipedia content during research, and that the phrase was later than the events.
The actual phrase was introduced into what was a totally unreferenced Wikipedia article by an American IP address, September 27 2005, changing from "the ghost punch fight" in this diff.
Is there any historical, hard-published evidence that this phrase involving the word 'phantom' actually existed contemporaneous with the event? I have checked a few period refs, some were deadlinked with only one - Sports Illustrated - at Wayback machine so far. I need much more time which will not be for some months yet. I will also have to try to find scans of UK newspapers showing the phrase I recall the UK press using.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 11:35, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

message: Holy Cow, this is good article. My sincere congrats to the editors.
Also I can't believe that this article is rated C-Class. WTF.
Anyway, thanks for a great read!
