But that doesn't quite answer it. Walcott's knowing that Liston had not been counted out isn't a skill set. It is something he had learned from 23...
Let's talk about the inexperienced refereeing. Walcott had spent his adult life boxing. He had been mindful of the neutral corner rule in every...
I believe the Sun rises in the East because I have observed it. That may be opinion, but it is proof to me. I saw Liston go down for only the...
I have no doubt Ali-Liston II was fixed. The proof is in simply watching it.
Question- Is it illegal in the U.S. to fix a fight? If it is, how does professional wrestling get away with it?

Lay on the ropes and let Marciano work on your gut? That's the closest thing to ring suicide I can think of. When Ali finally finally slumped to...
Before he died, Angelo Dundee admitted that he didn't believe that Liston put anything on his gloves: "... this week Angelo Dundee, Clay's...
I agree with you about the second fight. Walcott's handling of the knockdown would have been a major scandal, but all the post fight discussion...

If you had ever had a chance to climb into the ring with Marciano, I think you might know everything and would not have started this thread.
I don't know about Liston. I would LOVE to see Ali rope-a-dope Marciano. It would probably be Ali's last fight.
