Neil was and still is considered one of the greatest sports photographers that has ever been graced within the sports industry. The positioning of ali standing over liston, does show ali's dominance within the boxing world at this time. Ali was also known to be a trash talker and made him a press favourite for it, and this picture does express alis fighting talk, as it does seem he is shouting at liston, many say it was "get up fucker and fight" showing his fighting spirit and his aim for a challange. Sports photography is something that interests me greatly but seeing that i wont be able to go to any sporting events to get decent photographs so the option of creating a piece of Gonzo Journalism is still being the favourite option.
