Styles make fights. Liston was made to order for Ali, being slow, gutless, and having poor stamina. But, Liston would have had a much easier time with guys like Norton, where Ali's lousy left hook, inability to move forward effectively, and poor punching power made for very competitive fights.
Virtually all fighters have styles they don't like. Clay/Ali had a style Liston couldn't handle, and his weak willpower made him quit twice.

Getting in the ring with Liston in those days was beyond bravado,

Holy shit, just take a look at Sonny here. He is a wall of thick muscle. Props to Roy Harris for taking this fight.
-
Seriously, keep you Ali-fanboyism to the Ali vids. Sonny deserves better than to be mocked by brainwashed keyboard warriors.

A prime Sonny moved and boxed well, this guy had a lot more than just power going for him. That telephone pole jab of his was incredible with the way he twisted it.

@zenmachinefilms yes i agree. Liston was a scary guy. I'd rather fight Tyson than Liston any day of the week.

@johnwtanneriv would u eat ali s poop??

Would you fight with torn bicep muscle in his arm that he jabbed with . 7 FBI doctors examined him. He tried to have the bout postponed, however, wonderful Chris Dundee, talk about mobbed up people, had influence with the Miami boxing commission, These are facts.

@johnwtanneriv 1) No one gives a shit how you scored a fight. 2) Eddie Futch stopped the fight and Frazier didn't want it. 3) Ali is quoted as saying: "that was the closest to dying that I've ever been." 3) "Resume is about W's and L's" Absurd. When and how those W's and L's occurred must be factored in when analyzing a fighter.
4) You're an Ali fanboy who is incapable of clear perception.

The comments here by the clueless members of the Religion of Ali are par for the course.

Harris had a hell of a lot of guts to even get into the ring with Liston at this time in Sonny's career. No one wanted to fight Sonny then. No one.
