    Just watched some of him and he is absouloute murder to watch. Real gangly unorthodox style that is laughable but it works for him but makes terrible viewing.

    He also broke Listons Jaw and i can see why he made him laugh, hes one strange guy.

    Anyone else seen him?

    No, but isn't this the guy who floored Liston.Many people forget that.

    Never seen marshall fight on film. Very awkward from what I gather.

    Got a DVD of it.

    I say some tall lanky guys basically scooting round the ring on ice skates making awkward gestures and contortions with his body and not really doing much.

    Never seen any film of him,but I have heard about his jitterbugging style.
    He might have been a great matchup for Ray (Windmill ) White.

    I have seen marshal interviewd about his fights with liston on an ali documantry. he had a sad, hangdog face and a realy big cauliflower ear. henry cooper always said only clever boxers got califlower ears from all the glove laces running past as they slipped shots.
