Muhammad Ali punches Ken Norton during their 1976 fight at Yankee Stadium. The two fought twice in 1973, splitting the fights, before the ‘76 rubber match. Ali slugged his way to a unanimous decision in 15 rounds. Norton’s own coaches believed their fighter had a comfortable lead heading into the 15th and advised Norton to stay away from Ali, which he did, possibly giving the fight away. After the bout, even Ali admitted he thought he had been beaten. (Jerry Cooke/SI)

Cassius Clay stands on the podium after winning the gold medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. The U.S. boxing team of 2012 could’ve used Clay as they didn’t win a single medal despite sending 12 men to compete. SI’s Chris Mannix suggests that if the U.S. wants to turn things around in 2016, it needs to select a long-term coach, incorporate personal coaches and recruit past legends like Oscar de la Hoya to train the new crop of Olympic boxers.
