    Go to "google news archive" and search for "Galento Clay Liston" or something and you might find it.
    I can't search there myself at the moment because I'm connected on a mobile phone only and can't read the newspapers on this.

    But I'll do it tomorrow, and if not I will scan the clipping I have, which is same as the one on the google archive search.


    :good

    he definitely was.


    This article actually has me convinced that Liston may have been even older than we though. Galento seems like a straight shooter who wouldnt say something he didnt really believe. I mean for us, its easy to read him saying Ali will win, but in those times, it was crazy talk. Even the reporter said, are you kidding? lol
