Liston outside the ring

I met I guy that lived in the same neightborhood as Liston when he lived in Phila. PA.
He said when Liston was drinking that he wouldnt think twice about draggin someone out of the back door of the bar and beating the **** outta that person for the smallest infraction.
He also stated that B Hop's father was also a very bad man.

 

Does threatening to pull Ali's tongue out and jam it up his ass count as bad outside the ring behavior ?

 

My mom says she met Sonny Liston as a kid. She doesn't recall much about it, though.

 

Does anybody lnow the story behind an incident between Liston and a professional wrestler Dick The Bruiser? The wrestler insulted professional boxing (?) in a bar(?) and Liston chased him down when he went outside and slapped him repeatedly(?)
I guess Liston was pissed.

 

Anyone notice that Savarese went down from a glancing wrist to the top of the forehead?
