Sonny Liston KO 1 Albert Westphal

Fear

 

I've seen the slot machine & cane photographs, and thought the same thing.

I thought handwriting experts could determine the dependence of a person. After all, you brought up the 'i' thing, they should be able to expand on it.

 

From what I've read, the belief that handwriting experts can determine the dependence is common but unfounded. Analysts can determine the psychology of a person easier, which sounds funny. The slant, size of the lettering, etc. indicate how they view themselves or the world. Sonny's dot in that signature is probably an anomaly -but I'd count it as 'evidence'.

 

He has such a relentless attack. It seems as though he takes him time but once he finds an opening he doesn't stop punching until you crumble.

 

Cute knockout until you realize Albert Westphal sucked. Its like the knock out Derrick Jefferson had against Maurice Harris until you realize Harris had a glass chin.

 

I don't quite understand...Foreman signed autographs instead of Liston?

 

Albert landed like a thud,,,,,,,,,,,,, all 5' 7" 195 lbs. of him.
He was a squat thick-legged fighter, with at best mediocre skills.
He was fighting Sonny Liston, in a so-called Heavyweight Eliminator.

How good was Albert. At the time he was not even rated as the top Heavyweight of
Germany. He was #3.

Sonny was lucky he wasn't arrested for attempted murder.

Hero of the Year,,,,,,,, His manager for showing what kind of courage he had.

 

Sonny could sign his name.
But his wife, Geraldine signed alot of things too.
Sonny couldn't read, unless it was on a dollar bill.
You know $100's.

About Sonny's left arm, people forget these were the days before doctors
realized what a torn rotator cuff was.
Old school, was just ice it, then wintergreen linament, then put it in a sling.

ecto55,,,that sounds like a Jimmie 'The Greek' analogy.
Tennis players have larger biceps with their serving arm.
Maybe they got those big biceps working in the 'fields',,,,,,,,,only kidding
