There is no doubt that Walcott falsely awarded the fight to Ali. Watch the film and you will see it. Walcott never started a count on Liston...
I'd bet on Marciano. He had an unparalleled will to win.
Patterson would still have had Cus protecting him. He dumped Cus so he could fight Liston. I think he would have ducked Clay until 1964 or 1965....
I agree. The NOI had just finished assassinating Malcolm X.
"The FBI literally said they found proof the 2nd fight was fixed. Never heard this, do you know if there's a good link out there that describes...
You said there is no evidence that Liston could have got up from the knockdown. In fact he did get up. Anyone who knows anything about that...
He had been in the hospital with a neck injury from a wreck. That very possible accounts for the morpheme. Long history of drinking? Source?...
You said Liston was an alcoholic with heart disease who enjoyed heroin. You don't know if any of that is true. Your posts aren't worth reading.
He didn't hit the deck in the first. I think I'm wasting my time here.
I don't think you know any of that.
If he was "my friend" I wouldn't admit it.
I don't agree.
I think it's ridiculous to extrapolate from that that Frazier could beat Liston. That's a stretch WAY too far.
Martin wasn't Frazier's sparring partner. He was Liston's sparring partner. Check the facts before posting,
Looking at what Foreman did to a peak Frazier a couple years later, I don't think Feazier would have been a problem for Liston.
