What did you make of Sonny Liston? Has anyone seen or heard much of him? And that so called phantom punch? I remember seeing it once, and thought the wind blew him over but who knows!

I remember too seeing Terry Norris get knocked out and smiling quite a lot after it to someone in the crowd.
I too believe Liston took a dive. Im not sure what Jersey Joe had in mind marching ali all round the ring, wouldnt have mattered when the count began, Liston in my opinion just wasnt interested. Id assume it was off his own bat too .
Its a real shame too because they say he was highly talented.
I notice too in January-Roy Jones junior fights Tito Trinidad -what do ya make of that one? Both well past their best I think and surely Jones has the big advantage . Tito can bang but he never had a great chin. Could go either way, but on their day Id have put my house on Roy Jones aagainst anyone.

Listons career echoes Tysons in many ways, from the aura he gave off in his hayday as a monster, both eventually being found out to be nothing more than bullies, with their main weapons being just as much intimidation and fear as hooks and uppercuts, and ultimately in the turmoil they both faced outside the ring
Coincidentally, when you watch Alis fights with Fraizer and Norton, do you not thing that the judges were slightly biased toward the sports biggest money spinner?
