    Wow this website is incredible


    Thank you. Is this an actual store, or just an online store? I'm gonna get a Thunderbird Hotel shirt for my workouts as well.

    Are there any other sites like this?

    Rez, great job,you did on Sonny Liston. I likes Sonny Liston because he had no guile.
    Sonny i believe was "born old". I believe that Sonny was much older than his alleged
    age of 32 in 1964,when he fought Ali. Liston might have been closer to 40 years old at that time. But He was a handful for any heavyweight in history when at his peak,save for
    one or two faster punchers. But he was a monster when in his prime.
    I love the last segment when Sonny is training to the great visceral beat of NIGHT TRAIN.
    Good piece of work Rez. Cheers,and bring them acummin....

    Thanks Burt! I appreciate it. Did you happen to catch a glimpse of Sonny in person at any time in his career? I know Duce said he has. From some of the camera shots he looks incredibly intimidating. It's like even if you know he is a nice cool guy on the inside, just his figure, and that stare. Gives me the chills sometimes. I cant imagine boxing the man.


    And I must agree about the age. It really strikes me when I hear the reporter say "Sonny Liston died at the age of 38". Then I think back to all the footage I have seen of him, and come to the conclusion that there is not a chance in hell, he was 38 when he died.

    No Rez, I missed seeing Liston train at the Thunderbird hotel in Miami, but I was at the Hotel several times in those days. That stare Sonny had was a "protective " device I suspect, to ward off interlopers that Liston disliked.
    A TOUGH, TOUGH guy was Sonny, but i liked him nonetheless...:good

    I wish I had a dvd of an entire Liston training session. All I've seen are clips.

    Top stuff as always. Really enjoyed the way you put in some documentary with people like Foreman talking about Liston.

    Another great vid Rez, really enjoyed it esp. the training sequence with 'Night Train' & the interviews with Wepner & Foreman.

    Liston is an enigmatic legend.

    Simply awesome, the greatest Liston Tribute by a country mile.

    The sparring footage of Sonny & George proves the photo isn't a fake.

    this is a remarkable video reznick. you really capture his essence. the head movement, lunging jab and his overall flexibility are all in there. this will improve appreciation for liston's skills i'm sure.
