    Liston had to be in his mid-to-late thirties when he fought Clay/Ali.

    He just has that "old" look in some of the photos.

    I believe it. Liston's birthdate is disputed since his parents were hardly parents at all. Not sure why something like that would be a mystery though.

    I love the music. Classical montages are so much better than the screaming hard metal music that typically gets used today. That is why Bill Conti was such a genius.

    Thanks for re-uploading your Liston highlights, they're great.
    Sonny is a H2H nightmare and in my opinion gives everyone bar Ali hell.

    thanks guys.
    Yeah, I agree, Liston is one of the most balanced heavyweights of all time, and certainly one of the greatest.
