    Yank Durham said, No Way Is Joe Frazier Going To Fight Clay. That was after Muhammad Ali beat up Ernie Terrell, on Feb 6 1967. In 1966 Joe Frazier beats Sonny Liston. In 1967, after Muhammad Ali's Draft Evasion Conviction, Yank Duram kept Joe Frazier out of the WBA Tournament, fearing he may have to fight, Karl Mildenberger or Jerry Quarry. Quarry defeated Floyd Patterson, and Mildenberger lost to Oscar Bonavena.

    If Ali had never existed I still reckon Marty Marshall would have been the first person to beat Liston... in 1954.
