    But like Foreman after him, it was his work on the heavybag which was most impressive.

    I was wondering who it would be this week...good choice again.

    I like the first photo (shows his powerful physique off well) and the last one in particular. (Very '60's.')

    I only have one at this time, which I will upload in a minute. Hopefully I can get a few more.

    I always thought he looked quite old in that one. Great pics with the exception of the pics with Floyd. I hate seeing him (Floyd) in such positions :(

    I like it too...shows his kinder, mellower side.

    It's frustrating though, because there are more images of bloody Ali knocking out Liston than of Liston himself!

    I'll keep scratching...

    Tell me about it. Google Sonny Liston and you are confronted with reems of info about Ali.
