Nicknamed "The Greatest", Ali was involved in several historic boxing matches. Notable among these were the first Liston fight, three with rival Joe Frazier, and one with George Foreman, where he regained titles he had been stripped of seven years earlier. Ali remains the only three-time lineal World Heavyweight Champion; he won the title in 1964, 1974, and 1978.
