Liston was really the first in a line of big, dominent heavyweights. I think the size difference would have played a major part in Rocky getting dominated by Sonny.
I said this before and I will say it again. Marty Marshall broke sonny listons jaw and won by SD! A bum, a nobody. FACT. Marciano gives sonny a suzie-q and decapitates his ***** ass by rd 6. The only thing sonny Liston is famous for is getting ko'd by a fantom ***** ass feather right hand and quitting on the stool in 7. **** not even aurdley Harrison did that!
And I pick you to bear my offspring! Tis a great honor, who would not prefer the child of a god to that of an acne scarred artisan? Wait by the open window for the first light of day....a golden shower of my love will wash you of sin. Fact.
