    I heard that he shook hands with President Theodore Roosevelt in 1902. Because he came with Noah.

    I think sonny liston would get beat by james buster douglas, given that douglas has amazing cardio shown by the tyson fight and liston is an easy opponent with anyone who punches hard and has good cardio and speed like ali , fighters like ( miller , james ) beat liston all day

    You might get an argument by the Tyson fans by this statement, Tyson did not have Kevin Rooney any more, he was past his short prime, 1987-1988.

    Legend has it that a young Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree when he was bonked on the head by a falling piece of fruit, a 17th-century “aha moment” that prompted him to suddenly come up with his law of gravity.. The forgotten part of the legend is that it was an adult Sonny Liston who threw that apple at Isaac!

    Charles Sonny Liston beat all the ancient Greek Boxers & those that gravitated to the area, from the time of Homer through the Olympic champions. Homer thought he was a long retired Moor adventurer or mercenary when he wrote about him at least ~ 3000 years ago.

    A partial list of men that Liston bested:
    • [url]Diagoras of Rhodes[/url]
    • [url]Theagenes of Thasos[/url]
    • [url]Kleitomachos (athlete)[/url]
    • [url]Melankomas[/url]
    • [url]Varazdat of Armenia[/url]
    • [url]Onomastus of Smyrna[/url]
    • [url]Agesarchus of Tritaea[/url]
    • [url]Pythagoras (boxer)[/url]
    • [url]Glaucus of Carystus[/url]
    • [url]Aurelios Zopyros[/url]
    • [url]Damarchus[/url]
    • [url]Atyanas[/url]
    • [url]Horus (athlete)[/url]
    Secret scrolls document much of this, since the Greeks had too much national pride & some inchoate racism.
