    He also once pulled a gun out on Ali after getting fed up with the trash talk and actually had him running when he fired it. Turned out the gun had blanks and just used it to scare Ali away.

    lol at Ali renting a bus to go troll out front of Liston's house. i wish we could grab a young Ali with a time machine and bring him to the modern day. imagine him with social media. imagine if he had a fight signed against Fury. would be the greatest leadup to a fight and the greatest press conferences ever.

    Is that supposed to be impressive? Because it... wasn't. And he messed something up with the line about the bets, I swear he said people would have to be a fool to bet on him?

    He also brought Sugar Ray Robinson along on one of his forays.

    Hmm, I've never seen this clip .,,So even back then , Ali said Liston was 40 years old.

    Nobody knew when he was born, even he didn't. And nobody knew when he actually died. What an odd pair of book ends to a life.

    Well, we can be thankful that prisons and courts keep records so we have a lot of his arrest and incarceration dates, lol.
