    Sonny pulled a gun on him, he didnt joke around, put cops upside down in trash cans. Why do you think ali was terrified during the weigh in hoping bundini hold him back.
    Sonny was a g

    Liston was at the casino and Ali was messing with Liston's chips, so Liston slapped him and challenged him to fight right there. Ali ran away.

    I dont remember no **** like that. Liston was scared of Ali. Ali was a madman trying to get to Listons ass. Liston was a ****in flunky. Ali was the real G.

    Liston never slapped Ali. That's nonsense. Ali freaked Liston out. Liston did pull a gun on him though in a Casino. The night after Ali had gone 'bear hunting'. Knocked on Liston's door and dropped a bear trap.

    The accounts on what really happened in the casino vary, and depends on who you want to believe.

    Ali himself admits that he was afraid of Liston.

    When did he admit that? Liston did pull a gun on his ass though, but thats what a scared man does when the only thing its about is a fight. I never heard of Ali saying that but if he did then his fear was a motivating force while Listons fear of him was a handicap.

    What was the quote?

    Nothing scares a badass as much as a crazy dude

    So Ali acted crazy.

    Dundee said that Ali was terrified of Liston, in his account of the casino story, he doesnt mention that Liston slapped him, but he does say that Liston gave him ten seconds to get out of the Casino or he would shove his tongue up his ass or something (Ali was making fun of Liston who was on a losing streak, and Liston snapped) and according to Dundee, Ali ran his ass out of there.


    I've read a few books about Ali and one about the Ali-Liston fight, bet your ass Ali was scared of Liston, but who the **** wouldn't be? Liston was a dangerous man

    Liston was not afraid of Ali, he was extremely, extremely, extremely annoyed by him though, hated his guts.

    A little fear is good, it keeps you grounded. Ali might have had some fear of all the bad **** that surrounded Liston but he never feared the man himself and he proved it ,Twice.

    just because you fear someone doesnt mean you cant beat them, Ali was human after all, and very young at the time, and Liston was one of the most feared fighters of all time
