    Great view for appraising Liston's jab and body-work.

    Liston has some subtle skills many don't seem to think he possesses.

    Nice body work by Sonny,his left to the body was very nice...Floyd didnt have the pyysical strength to move Sonny around he tried to in the clinches and you could see the difference

    People make out Liston won because 'he was just too big'. What they neglect to say is, Liston was a more compact calculated puncher and outimed Paterson and was better defensively.

    If they were the same size Liston still wins in less devastating fashion

    Thanks for that haven't seen it in a while, can we have Clay-Liston 1 in colour now :D

    Liston does show good ability to drop inside, punch, then depart swiftly. Accurate as well. He wasn't just a wild swinger. With his power on tap, he would be looking for bombs, although carefully.

    Liston was a definite top 10 HWT, maybe top 5.

    Has to be a film from the Jacobs/Cayton collection... For years the library was built up.... extesively, and selfishly.

    What a fantastic view of Listons mobility.... regardless of the sound effects.

    I loved everything, but the fake sound ESPN Classic inserts.

    Great view of the right. A ring side seat!

    I thought it was funny, it was like an old kung fu film.
