Who would you pick to win a barfight *against Sonny Liston*?

Chuck Norris, who else.

 

I read that story as well. I can’t recall if it was Keenan but it’s a great yarn especially considering Sonny could have used him as a tooth pick if true.

 

He was known to do that, but I think that he avoided them if he could.

 

@AlFrancis quoted the source and put the actual passage in an earlier post, griff. Page 92 of McIlvanney on Boxing, the true Bible of Boxing.

It was Peter Keenan. Brave man.

 

Street cops without weapons an backup ain't good fighters. Cop was probably half Listons size as well.
