What others have said about the work. “I’m not trying to sound modest,” Leifer writes in Relentless,
“but I do believe if Ali hadn’t become the sports legend that he did, it would have been just another
nice knockout picture. But as his stature grew, this shot showed him the way people wanted to
remember him—young, good-looking, his shining best. As a result, over time, this picture took on a life
of its own.”
