Muhammad Ali talks to Belinda Boyd, who would become his third wife. Photograph: Thomas Hoepker/Magnum PhotosIt was Bingham who spent time with Ali at his home in Louisville and Miami, and captured the shot of him in his Cadillac swamped by local children. It was Bingham who photographed him preaching in Nation of Islam attire. It was Bingham who was there with a camera when Ali ranted at the office of the state prosecutor in Houston in 1967. It was Bingham who documented his travels around Africa, creating the shot of Ali riding a camel beside the Great Pyramids. And it was also Bingham who secretly helped arrange for Ali to carry the Olympic flame at Atlanta in 1996. Not to be bragging or anything like that," says 19-year-old Cassius Marcellus Clay, "but they say I'm the fastest heavyweight in the ring today. That comes from punching under water." Taking a cue from the immortal Ty Cobb, who weighted his shoes in training so that he would feel feather-footed when the season started, Clay goes into a swimming pool and, as these underwater pictures show, does a stunt of submarine shadowboxing. "You try to box hard," he explains, "Then when you punch the same way out of water you got speed." One of the pictures (below) from that shoot, showing Clay fully underwater with his fists raised, is one of the most famous pictures of Ali ever taken. But it didn't run in Life because the editors there thought it looked too posed. Sport is the toughest photography genre to excel in. To capture the fastest athletes in the world, the photographer’s got to be fast. When manufacturers produce new kit, they look to sports photographers to try it out. “They know how punishing sports photography is to a camera,” Jenkins says. “We’re out in extremes of heat and cold – all the things electronics hate. Sports photographers need incredible lenses and the fastest shutter speeds, and are pushing the limits of cameras as far as they can go.”

Ali, says Neil Leifer, the man who shot that celebrated photograph of him berating Liston, was “a gift” to anyone with a camera. “I have spent over 50 years of my life shooting photographs. I photographed everybody from the Pope to Charles Manson. But there has never been a better subject than Muhammad Ali,” he says. He did that all on his own,” Schulke recalled, claiming that Life never ran the photograph because they thought he had posed Clay. “I turned around, and I was just grabbing another camera to take more pictures, and when I turned around he was standing on the bottom of the pool. And actually I have about six frames of him standing there.” If you ask any photographer ‘what’s your one favourite picture?’, which is an awfully hard question to answer for most people, in my case I have one – this one – and it has always been my favourite,” he says. “For my money it is the best picture I ever took in my life.Sonny Liston as ‘Bad Santa’ on the cover of Esquire magazine in 1963. Photograph: Carl Fischer/Esquire It has often been said that Ali is a man of split character – that his wild-eyed antics were all for show and the second he was out of the limelight and away from the media, he would be calm, reflective and sometimes distinctly shy. For those commissioned to document the champion, Ali’s capricious behaviour made him both a handful and a curiosity. Muhammad Ali after flooring Cleveland Williams in Houston in 1966.

Photograph: Neil Leifer/Sports Illustrated/Getty Images Seeing these photos, Clay immediately told Schulke that it so happened that he trained underwater in a swimming pool because, "An old trainer up in Louisville told me that if I practice in the pool, the water resistance acts just like a weight." The Magnum photographer Abbas, who spent time with Ali prior to ‘The Rumble in the Jungle’ – of which it is the 40th anniversary – describes it best: “He was like a film-director and we were working for him.” Bill

Four years later, Leifer would receive an accolade from the Observer for another of his images, an aerial shot of Ali celebrating victory over Cleveland Williams in 1966. It was voted the best sports photograph ever taken, beating the Ali-Liston shot into second spot. The Story of the PhotoshootIn 1961, Sports Illustrated had assigned Schulke to take pictures of Clay. So Schulke traveled to Overtown, Florida where Clay was training. The editor atSports Illustratedscoffed at the idea of photographing a boxer in a swimming pool.Schulke offered them toLifemagazine where they reproduced the images in September 1961 in an article titled “A Wet Way to Train for a Fight” that contained the following quote from Clay “but they say I’m the fastest heavyweight in the ring today.That comes from punching underwater”. comhazrat ali ra 2011name of imam ali [] for your , Mobile & Tablet. Explore Ali Name . Ya Ali , Muhammad Ali HD wallpaper However, the editor also gave Schulke permission to pitch the idea to Life, saying, "Go ahead and ask Life if you want to. If they're dumb enough to, let them do it."When Ali realised it was a Christian symbol he wasn’t sure whether to go through with it,” Fischer explains. “So he put in a call to Herbert Muhammad [his manager] in Chicago because he wanted some comfort to know that it was OK. He felt a little guilty but that call made him feel better. The thing is, people always want their picture on the cover; Ali was the same.” The pictures on my walls at home are not my photographs, they’re photographs of the great Life photographers over the years, with this one exception. It’s the only picture that has always been up on the walls in my home. I have a large print of it. It’s right in my living room.” Unexpectedly he adds: “I like to hang it as a diamond shape with Cleveland Williams at the top.” In the studio

The next day, Schulke met Clay at the Sir John Hotel in Overtown, Fla., and watched as he suddenly jumped into a swimming pool. Clay soon began to throw some punches and, after drawing Schulke’s attention, told him that the water pressure against his fists acted as a weight. Intrigued by this unorthodox exercise, Schulke called Sports Illustrated and asked if they would pay him to shoot Clay training in the pool over the next few days. His editor swiftly turned down the proposal and vowed to never again give Schulke a boxing assignment.When he first met Clay, Schulke tried to impress the young boxer by sharing examples of his work. For instance, Schulke revealed that he specialized in underwater photography and had recently had photos published in Life showing water-skiers from below the surface of the water. In the picture, Ali looks manic as he tries to goad Frazier, while Frazier defiantly stares through the glass and beyond Ali, as if to suggest his opponent scarcely exists. “I certainly couldn’t coax Ali into doing anything, and our mantra [at Life magazine] was always ‘be invisible’, but I think in terms of publicly-managing the image Ali was in control. You can see it in his eyes. And as soon as it started happening I knew this could really work.” ‘Sooo pretty’ Recognition for Schulke's work includes: 1995, the Crystal Eagle Award for Impact in Photojournalism, from the National Press Photographer Association; 1986, First Annual New York State Martin Luther King, Jr. Medal of Freedom; 1983, Golden Trident, from the Government of Italy for his accomplishments in underwater photography; and 1967, Underwater Photographer of the Year-USA, from the International Underwater film and photography competition, Santa Monica, California.
