This one jumps out to me, Ali standing over Liston.
The full color version.
I always loved this photo, Dr. J and Larry Legend lock horns.
Solid choices so far!!
There's quite a few different photos of these guys, so I chose just one.

A miracle…
…a moment of perfection…
…and a master.

I always loved this photo of Thomas Hearns being carried out after his war with Marvin Hagler.
I want to see the face of Vic Wertz after Mays made that catch...

Dr. J dunk contest.
Another iconic Dr. J
Tom Landry.
I had mistakenly posted the Grange picture twice... so one was replaced with Ben Hogan at the 1950 US Open hosted at Merion. This picture captures Hogan's famous one iron in the 18 hole playoff with Lloyd Mangrum. A great photo that captures one of golf's greatest tournaments

probably already up there as the most famous in japan, but this will certainly age well here in america. i found it to be immediately awesome on that sunday:
The two greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game, that is the best sports photo in history, hands down, and it's not even close.
^^^^ Hands down, and it's not even close I say!
Football in the 60s.
famous doesnt always equate to being great. so i guess this has to be up there by default:
Joe Namath after delivering on his guarantee in Super Bowl III is an iconic photo. Not as iconic as Trubusky and Dalton, but iconic nevertheless.
Ah yes, Joe Namath was one cool dude, rockin the fur coat on the sideline.
MJ.
