Correct....4 visible photogs in background 1 guy with rolleiflex shooting, one guy with some kind of 35mm shooting (can't tell which as ring rope goes across camera), other 2 photogs just looking. 1 is the guy with 2 RFDRs (maybe zone focusing shooting(NOT!!) and other guy with Rollei....Looks like some guy with speedgraphic may be behind Ali shoting also...can't really tell as he is almost totally blocked. Re Neil Leifer...I was covering trhe 1991 World Serries in Atlanta shooting for the now dead Gwinnett Daily News. Neil was there shoting for Time. I saw former President Carter doing the "tommahawk chop" with Ted Turner. I yanked out my color neg and burned a roll of chrome and shipped film to SIPA, my agent back then. When Time ran a photo of Carter and Turner doing the chop it was mine even though Neil was shooting them with a wide from up close...mine was a 400 mm shot from a distance......
