    Liston was passed his best but Sonny was not delivered as a stepping stone for Martin, going into the fight it could have been regarded as the other way around. Liston was doing a number on the kind of guys ambitious contenders beat to stay busy. Martin was out of the tournament and a win over him could have put Sonny up there with a shot against a champion. Who was favoured to win Liston vs Martin?

    Yes [url]abdelfadeel[/url] you are way out of line.

    You sound like an ignorant little kid.

    Here in America things have changed draatically, as in most other civilized places. Now just like most places absorbed decades ago re: race, most all decent human beings know denigrating gays or calling someone gay to insult them is as malicious & immoral as mocking someone for their race or religion.

    Also most know that many who do this are insecure about their own ***uality.
    Often including projecting their own feared & denied homo***ual impulses upon others.

    You will stop due to social pressure or fear of being banned or actually be banned.

    but it would be nice if you showed the unusual character & cojones to humbly apologize for your juvenile abuse, & be accepted back into respectability.

    I agree with that. When Martin stopped Liston, that was anything but a lucky punch. He set him up and timed him beautifully.

    That's a good question chok, and I'm not really sure but...if Sonny was favored, and he might have been a slight favorite, Vegas has blown it many times before and they well could have been somewhat enamoured by the Sonny "aura". But I stand by what I said, there wasn't one fighter Sonny fought after Lewiston and before Leotis except for Clark that was worth anything. I guess you could say the same about Floyd's comeback two years after the Ellis 'iffy' bout, as he really fought no one for a year but he did have to get thru Bonavena to get his rematch against Ali which he did. Had Oscar stopped Floyd IMO you're looking at a sorta same Sonny-Leotis scenerio.
    My somewhat limited $0.02 :D

    So you are a teenager then?

    You are given a chance & all you can think is to make an absurd, impossible & anonymous threat?

    OK just think if this is how you wanna be-clearly fragile, least decent & most crude cartoon of an angry boy, or respected & seen as an adult.

    Robert80 you are either an alt/troll, or if not, sadly infantile & abusive.

    DO you realize that folks are only saying that using homophobic insults is vicious-& anonymously here-also cowardly? Would you be fine with people protesting racist comments like, say, "go elsewhere with this ni**er ****"?

    'Cause that is what you sound like. I am neither black nor gay, but nobody here is gonna get away with such pathetic name calling & personal, bigoted putdowns.

    Continue & I will personally see to it that you are banned.

    Or just grow up & stop being malignant haters.

    Get some general & self respect. Everyone knows that those who project Fear & Loathing on the world are covering up something:

    Their own Fears, sense of inadequacy, a trait they deny & hate in themselves like homo***uality, frantically scapegoating & being the Bad Guy to keep the Demons at bay.

    This is no way to live, like a cartoon character of a man, nay an angry boy.

    Frazier was better than Peralta, so wouldn't he last longer against Foreman? It's not as simple as that, you see.

    Prime Liston would treat Martin the same way he did prime Cleveland Williams...I have no doubt of this.
