    :good If anything Liston was probably thinking...wtf is wrong with this guy. I dont think Liston was scared i mean he was a well known criminal FFS! hed been in prison etc. Apparently he even met the Kray twins?

    :good
    Exactly, as i stated before Ali was merely trying to pysche HIMSELF up for the fight.

    Ali didn't really go after Norton either. Norton was strictly business when it came to boxing in and out of the ring, to him Ali's antics were mainly humorous and not hurtful. He also had respect for Ali who gave him a big chance when Norton was a dangerous but unknown fighter to the public. There wasn't much bad blood between the two.
