1) "There’s a fascinating story behind this photo. It was taken by legendary photographer Neil Lifer of Sports Illustrated. SI sent two photogs to the match, the younger lifer and his boss — Herb Scharfman — who is visible between Ali’s legs in this iconic picture."

Scharfman, a native of Chicago, began his career in New York as a stringer for International News Photo. His picture of Rocky Marciano's knockout punch in a 1952 bout against Jersey Joe Walcott is considered once of the iconic photographs in the history of photojournalism. He later chronicled Roger Maris during his pursuit of Babe Ruth's single-season home run record in 1961. Scharfman's photo of that record breaking moment is one of baseball's most famous photos. After International News Photo went out of business, Scharfman joined the staff of Sports Illustrated. Although his photographs graced the magazine's cover fifteen times in a ten year span, he is best known for a photo in which he appears - Neil Leifer's shot of Muhammad Ali standing over a fallen Sonny Liston in their 1964 rematch. Scharfman was directly across the ring from Leifer, appearing between the legs of Ali in the iconic image. Lefier would later say "Herbie Scharfman was one of the greats, but on that night, he was in the wrong seat."" Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Scharfman
