YouTube video on Liston.

A lot of people think Liston had plodding or cement feet. This video shows that that is clearly not the case.

If you guys take the time to watch it, please post your thoughts.

I watch that video over and over. Especially the shadow boxing,
the way he throws his jab. Didn't Mike Tyson describe Sonny Liston
jumping rope as "orgasmic"?

" This from a guy who spent time with Sonny Liston. It's perfectly apropos that Tyson put orchids on Liston's grave. He worships the notion of Liston, the convict's champion, just as he worships violence or, rather, constantly associates Eros and violence. "Liston is orgasmic," says Tyson, who's watched the old films. "He's someone who just physically destroys you.

When Tyson was in the amateurs, wasn't the rumor going around that he was Sonny Liston's son?

D'Amato, who knew a thing or two about subterfuge, played that out to

was Sonny Liston's illegitimate son, which wasn't a terribly
outlandish assertion being that Tyson was born in 1966 and Liston
passed away in 1970."
