Sonny Liston vs Leotis Martin in color 1969

I'd say Liston had to be at least 42. Forget about him having trained seriously .. he was an old man.

 

Gallanders Book has some interesting insights on Listons age

 

Isnt Gallenders book full from top to bottom of bull****, rumor, and innuendo?

 

Paul Gallinder is an absolute clown. But don't just take my word for it.

From what I've seen the Census of 1940 showed Sonney was 10. So in 1970 he would have been 40. He looked 40.

 

Martin was looking for that right over Listons jab all night.

 

Thats a great question because he swears he turned over every rock for the last 30 yrs or so to uncover the true Liston

 

Way too long 4 me to listen 2 lol

 

Leotis suffered a detached retina in this fight and never fought again. Martin had fought, beat , and lost to, most of the contemporary fighters of that heavyweight era. Also he was involved in that fatal fight with Sonny Banks 4 years earlier.
