WTF!? Check out this Wikipedia article about Liston

Back again?

 

"If Joe Frazier was called the Black Marciano, Sonny Liston could be named the Black Jeffries"

 

According to the Bing translation Sonny Liston was born "in a Desert Wetland(?) of between 25 children".

Fascinating.

 

"How were always the same: the young Liston immobilizzava with his Herculean strength, that the victim was she mates."

Wow... Liston was a monster.

Those poor she mates.

 

Aye. Problem, ****?

 

Which takes you to the English version. It doesn't translate the Italian version.

Spastic.

 

Down I go

 

:rofl

 

If you want to read anything truthful and in-depth about Sonny Liston.
Read anything Jack McKinney wrote.
He was the closest sports-writer to Sonny.
The only one Sonny trusted.
The Philadelphia Daily News.

He even wrote a classic.
When Sonny was training for the first Floyd Patterson fight, to be
held at Comiskey Park in Chicago.
Jack witnessed a work-out that Sonny was having, at Aurora Downs, Illinois, an hold harness track and stock car facility, that was converted into his training facility.
Sonny was working on the heavy-bag, and attempted to fire off
(3) five-punch combinations in a row.

After firing off the punches, Sonny asked Jack;
'What do you think'

McKinney replied;
'I think you need five more fights before taking on Patterson'

Liston bewildered, asked;
'Why'

McKinney;
'Because, it took you 20-seconds to throw those punches, and Patterson could have snapped off 10 combinations in the same amount of time.'

McKinney followed up;
'T.C. (short for Top Cat) you're left hand jab is so slow, birds can land on it, and use it as a perch.'
