Top 100 Photos of All Time

1.) I picked this image because it is the most famous photo of Muhammed Ali, and I think it shows strength and courage.

2.) This photo was taken of Muhammed precisely one minute and 44 seconds into the first round. It was taken after Muhammed Ali had knocked down his opponent and stood over him triumphantly, yelling at him to get up and fight.

3.) Neil Leifer says in his video: I had no idea I had even taken the photo like that. I had no idea he put his arm up like that..." Leifer clearly did not know that his photo would go down in history.
