    I don't know where you're getting this from. Liston stopped DeJohn with body punches, he didn't hit him low.

    Heavyweight contender Sonny Liston, with 16 straight victories under his belt, apologized today for uppercutting Big Mike DeJohn while he was "down," and yelled for a fight with a higher ranking contender. "I want Eddie Machen, Zora Folley or Nino Valdes for my next fight," declared Liston of Philadelphia, who floored DeJohn of Syracuse, N.Y., twice Wednesday night with solar-plexus punches for a technical knockout in the sixth round of their TV fight. After referee Jimmy Peerless had stopped the bout at 2:43 of the sixth round before 3,858 at the Miami Beach Exhibition Hall, the fight was almost resumed in DeJohn's corner. When the victorious Philadelphian danced across the ring to shake hands with vanquished Mike, DeJohn refused to shake and angrily accused Sonny of uppercutting him when down on one knee the second time. Mike called Sonny a name. Liston swung at him and missed. Then their handlers separated them. Liston, weighing 209¼ pounds and standing 6-feet-1.
    I call that cheapshot because In your eye Marciano cheats but you are butthurt when someone mention Liston cheating ha?

    Marciano thought he would so much so he wanted to stage a comeback but was to far gone.

    It was certainly unique.The thing is with these type of posters is,if you were in a bar having a boxing discussion and someone made the remarks this guy has you wouldnt bother responding ,because you would know immediately he hadnt a clue what he was talking about.
    I used to get into arguments on Hunting sites with these people,until a close friend who has written several books on the subject and does it for a living ,said to me,"why do you bother replying to these idiots,you wouldnt give them the time of day socially ?".That cured me.

    Yes, I know what you mean. I'm slightly disappointed that he's banned again and I shan't be able to ridicule him for not knowing the difference between a low blow and hitting a man while he's down. But I know that wouldn't actually have been a constructive use of my time.
