    It's feedback like this that I enjoy reading.
    I also appreciated the music tips guys, but everyone has a different opinion about that kind of music.
    What did you think about the syncing? or the music?

    The syncing was well done and I actually liked the hip hop as for me the gun shots were a great representation of Sonny's devastating power. "Mad World" was very appropriate for the sad ending.

    hah. thanks for actually liking the beginning music! I don't think it was that bad. if it was rap, yeah that wouldve been terrible. the gunshots I really likes because it fit perfectly with the punches. My favorite part with the gunshots was when he hit Williams with the left hook the first time.
    what did you think of the second song? when Liston fought Patterson?

    A few years ago i used to have a stupendous Sonny Liston career type compilation ages long but can't find it. Anyone know the film i am talking about? It had like every filmed Liston fight known to man and probably one or two others.

    Wouldn't mind seeing the rest of that interview with Cosell. Also wonder if there's any more of that footage of Sonny sparring with Foreman that we saw on the Liston docu? Wish someone could track down those producers and find out where they got it and the Liston-DeJohn footage

    Great Video. Loved it as always! Liston was a beast in training. He could do neck bridges like olympic wrestlers. That's why his neck was so thick, which allowed him to take monsterous shots.
