    man, liston (may he rip) is overrated.

    holyfield, for example, who isn't as highly considered, makes him look stiff.

    Anyway, Ali definitely beat Liston in the first fight - put on a clinic, his eyes were stinging by 5th round because of Liston's camp's cheating. The second was a fix (not Ali's fault).

    I was in Texas when it happened. 99 % thought Oswald did it alone! Now I believe 20% believe it. Actually, they caught Oswald casually drinking a coke on the 3rd floor right after
    Kennedy was shot.
    I believe the first fight was fixed.

    Yeah, we believe you about as much as we believe in Santa Claus.
