    Funny, but you can get an idea of how much longer Sonny's reach was than Foreman from this pic. Sonny's arm is so long his hand is out of frame.

    Shortly before he died. I'm not seeing too many track marks on that arm. I wonder if the doctor did?

    This is after losing to Clay. Makes you wonder if Jack McKinney's story in the Liston documentary was true.(see below as well)

    Former champ Johnny Coulon performed this trick on many a HW champ. Pinch a nerve in the neck and you couldn't lift the little banty.
