@robiitc You should read Night Train - Sonny Listons biography. Liston was afraid of nothing!

Człowiek Legenda!

he did show us how great he was!

@ffiinnrroodd There were claims that Liston had bet against himself and "took a dive" because he owed money to the Mafia. Others believe that he feared for his safety from Nation of Islam terrorists who supported Ali. The latter theory was supported by Mark Kram's book Ghosts of Manila, which included an interview with Liston conducted years after the fight. Liston claimed to have intentionally lost because of his fear of retaliation from the Black Muslims.

I watched it about a dozen times in slow motion and I still cannot figure out how that punch was so effective. It looked like a little rough pat on the head.
ali overcame more obstacles than we can imagine both in and out of the ring. he's a true inspiration. he is immortal.

Muhammed Ali Pre-Fight: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, your hands cant hit, what your eyes cant see." Happy Birthday Champ!
