Re: Liston
Hurting from being sodomized by granberry the previous nights?
Re: Liston
He quit da 1st fight cos he didn't seem prepared for Clays style, and if he was there was nothing he could do about it. Clay had his number.enjoysboxing wrote:Liston clearly quit in each fight with Clay/Ali. Why?

He retired with a torn shoulder in their first fight.

He claimed that. But he looked tired and beat up.dempseyfire wrote:He retired with a torn shoulder in their first fight.
Now look at the rematch:
He never came to win. And it was the beating he took inda 1st fight that convinced him he couldn't.
So far there hasn't been a pro boxer who could of beat Ali from Liston/Foley. Truely amazing he was. He held his hands wrong! He moved back from punches. He didn't hav good hed movement. But his lightning reflexez,
However Liston was a Top 10 HW
