Oh, yes - sorry. It is interesting trying to trace the source of these claims. The accusation that Liston used illegal tactics is in the...
This is presumably the same "Archie Moore" who was stopped by Bobby Birch on 6th June - a fight which doesn't seem to have found its way onto...
Good find! But seeing that Crouch's post has wikipedia links embedded in it, I'm assuming he just copy/pasted it from Sanders' wikipedia page.
Strangely, not a single report of the Liston-Sanders fight made any criticism of either the decision or of Liston's tactics....
Marciano's amateur career was better than people make out. A few losses in the first year. In the second year, his only loss was a very close...
"According to Fresco"? Who do you think "Fresco" is? The "Fresno punche" which you copy/pasted into your previous post is a reference to Mac...
Fresno? So you've abandoned your Ray Patterson story and you're back on Mac Foster again? I've already shown you a contemporary report that...
Nope. All contemporary reports describe Liston as floored, not out. Photographs show him down on his haunches, then moments later back on his...

Foster had Liston down and hurt, but not out. Foster landed a left hook and Liston paused - either hurt or adjusting his headgear, depending on...
Of course, everyone knows that Ali was doped against Frazier. A doctor said it, so it must be true. https://ibb.co/XXJtCV3
Yes, a slim favourite - somewhere around the 5-4 mark. At the time Mason was far more experienced and higher in the ratings. He was actually...
Yes - during the buildup to the rematch in 66 it was only 30 seconds, but the legend grew over the years.
That's how Cooper used to describe it. The trouble is it's simply not true. As the film clearly shows Ali wasn't against the ropes and it was...
I think this is the downside of the California system. In theory, giving the judges more discretion to indicate how clearly a round was won could...
