"The night I fought Sonny Liston, there were a few southerners at ringside, saying "Sonny, knock that n*gger out, the n*gger talks too much!"...and we laughed didn't we, cuz his seat cost $250"

Funny guy.

 

Makes you miss the heavyweights

Thanks for the vid. There is another documentary out there called AKA Cassius Clay which features extended conversations between Ali and D'amato. Well worth checking out if only for their discussion on Ali vs joe Louis.

 

Yeah he does! Good spot! Thanks for posting.

 

Thanks for the link. Its interesting hearing points about him taking to many hits in sparring and in fights. All which could of contributed to his parkinson's desease

 

Hello! This is my first post on Eastside Boxing. I am happy to be here, friends.

I can tell from the way these two men talk to each other that they love(d) the sport of boxing and have(had) genuine respect for each and every one who is in the game.
