    How does the way he died affect his status as an ATG heavyweight?

    Yeah....I remember hearing Louis had to kinda try to get Liston" back on the right track".....when Sonny was a contender or champ...but appears both guys began to drift into "dark' areas at the end.

    It touches on a number of issues, his mob connections, who else might have been after him, his age . .

    Also, i don't think the forum is simply limited to where you rank someone on a list. I think people are curious who they were, and Liston for many remains an intriguing mystery.

    I'm not going to bother going through his innumerable rantings to point out things he wrote. You go through them yourself and tell me if YOU think he isn't on the precipice. He's either a CIA operative with all the little factoids he has (that no one alive or dead can verify, coincidentally and conveniently for him) or he's a complete loon. I stand by the latter opinion.

    I have heard about creative posters, I think it was a completely fabricated tale discrediting the Ayala sparring Cuevas story.
