    Yes it is. Are you ****ing re****ed? That or you've run out of arguments. If not either, you're just trolling.

    There are to possible reasons:Because the referee wasn't even counting at all and Liston felt he never would've reached ten. It also could've been because he wanted to make it more believable when Ali said "Nobody's gonna believe this." It was probably both.

    Also, Ali was ****y as ****. If he hit Liston, we would've definitely heard about it.

    I think it is uncommon for a man to not know which hand he hit with then later give an elaborate explanation of the exact mechanics of the punch and how it was executed and timed.
    This is not only uncommon, it screams "fake bull****".

    I think Liston got up because he knew it was obvious it was a dive.
    The crown was yelling "fix". He wanted to try to make it more believable. He had already been made to testify before congress about the first fight being a fix. He didn't want that again.

    Walcott never started a count. He didn't even reach 1.

    He's just trolling now. That's literally the only explanation.
