    I named a book, I quoted even Ali interview link where he explained how he was blinded and who did that.

    I know you ignore facts, because it hurts your hero reputation.

    Watch the 12 greatest rounds. Liston vs Ali is mentioned and panel of commentators mention this wasn't the only time fighters complained about burring eyes when facing Liston.

    Also in the book by Nigel Collins, Boxing Byblon.

    How Liston was ancient against Ali, he was in his early 30s?
    Tyson never quit, he was beaten in the first fight and DQed in second fight which is not quitting.

    You can't take the fact that Liston is the only HW champ in the history who quit on his stool?

    You mean Ingemar knocked him with one punch while Liston needed 10 punches to finish him?
    Ingo knocked him down with a single punch, Liston couldn't do that.

    You can't take the fact the Sonny isn't the only heavyweight-champion to retire
    through injury.

    Ingo was the first one to demolish Patterson and did it with 1-2 combo which Liston couldn't do.

    Which injury?
    Fighters fought broken hands, back, both eyes swollen...and no one quit on his stool.
    I can't remember any HW champ besides Sonny that quit on his stool.

    Where?
    He was almost killed by Dempsey, they guy was broken in a half, but Willard wanted to continue until his cornerman stopped him from doing that.
    So it makes Liston only Hw chamo that quit on his stool by his own will.

    Are you having problems with short-term memory loss ? Please refer to Vitali Klitschko.

    But knocked him down for long count with one punch...could Liston do that in both his fights?

    Where did Vitali quits?
    He was a champion for just one year in the weakest era.
