Liston was a 7 fight novice fighting with a broken jaw when Marshall won a split dec over him.He subsequently beat Marshall twice, flooring him multiple times before stopping him, and pitching a shut out in their last fight with Marshall just boxing to survive. Liston was an old man when Martin stopped him,but not before Liston floored him.
I think George nailed the answer. I didn’t get the impression that he was tired of pics...personally I like them even if it is tedious to copy and paste on my phone
Yeah he was 5 years old and 105 years old against Martin and he beat everyone I got it okay. Marshall was ancient when he lost 3 years later against Liston in second fight and Marshall was a bum and no name. Martin beat him also in early 60s in sparing as he did in match and he would beat him 99/100 times
No skin off my nose. Anything in my post that is untrue or inaccurate? Marshall was 30 years old for the first Liston fight,31 for the second and 32 for the third. Not sure how this trilogy of fights is relevant to a photo of Liston with Marciano? Perhaps you can enlighten me? ps Marshall retired in1956, he wasn't sparring with Liston in the early 60's.
I like to see these kind of pics, ones with cross generation especially. We perhaps never saw em fight in the ring but interesting to see them together.
It's a great photo and thanks for sharing. I was getting in front of the responses wherein the cognoscenti dissect every physical attribute represented and extrapolate according to their predilections.
I think the discussion ends, as does Marciano's consciousness, half a second after "boy" leaves his lips.
This discusion ends but not because Marciano boys who could be boring sometimes but because guys like Seamus or they could be called:Marciano lost against everyone I hate him because he is white and retired undefeated.
I knew someone who knew someone who knows someone who was in the room when that photo was taken. He swore than Sonny was so rattled that he puked soon after Rocky left the building. I'm just passing the info on...
