Cleveland Williams, noto anche con lo pseudonimo di The Big Cat (Griffin, 30 giugno 1933 – Houston, 11 settembre 1999), è stato un pugile statunitense, sfidante al titolo mondiale dei pesi massimi detenuto da Muhammad Ali.Professionista nei pesi massimi dal dicembre 1951, combatté 33 incontri in poco più di due anni e mezzo. Li vinse tutti tranne una sola sconfitta con un avversario da lui successivamente battuto.Il 22 giugno 1954 subì un inaspettato KO alla terza ripresa da Bob Satterfield che lo costrinse all’inattività per più di due anni. Tornò a combattere nell’agosto 1956 e inanellò una serie di undici vittorie consecutive tra le quali quella con il britannico Dick Richardson, a Kensington, nella sua prima trasferta all’estero. Il 15 aprile 1959 affrontò l'astro nascente della boxe mondiale Sonny Liston. A inizio del combattimento riuscì a ferire al naso l'avversario ma poi fu sconfitto molto duramenteper knock-out tecnico alla terza ripresa.Il 21 marzo 1960 perse nuovamente da Liston per KO al primo round. Questa netta vittoria dette la convinzione al futuro campione del mondo di esser pronto per il titolo mondiale.Nel 1961 Williams batté ai punti Wayne Bethea, futuro "giustiziere" dell'italiano Franco De Piccoli e concluse l’anno al n. 7 degli sfidanti al titolo nella classifica della rivista specializzata Ring Magazine
