In addition to his actual appearances as his fictional televersion on several shows, as well as the previously mentioned references to him in other shows, Muhammad Ali had two more mentions that warrant inclusion in his stats for the Television Crossover Hall of Fame:
In 'NCIS', Director Leon Vance, a former boxer, has a framed photo in his office of Ali gloating over the floored Liston at the end of the second fight. In "Last Man Standing", he discusses the photo with Gibbs and mentions the fixing allegations.
The 'Mad Men' episode "The Suitcase" from Season 4 revolves around the second fight [which Roger Sterling attended]. The outcome actually inspires Don Draper to a commercial.
