Sonny was not only the most intimidating heavyweight at the time, but one of the top 3 most intimidating heavyweights ever! I can imagine for him to be talking crap to Ali and Ali talking back was really wild back then.
@Big Daddy T Richardson every word I mentioned in what I said you can Google most of it except what I said about the older people I met said in ST Louis. Back in the late 1990s 98-2000 I did alot of research on Sonny Liston. He became a person of interest. He seems like a nice guy in some of these videos but in order to make it to the book of St Louis gangsters you have to be a very mean and nasty and ruthless S.O.B! but I learned a few things about him,and that was he had like a sorta supper human strength and he was a mean guy or possibly was really just a literate and act mean to scare people away from him or maybe even both. Even big George Foreman say he was unbelievably strong. There was old police records that you could probably pull up online showing where he had to be double handcuffed, because he could rip one pair off. And it's supposed to take 587 lb of pressure to do that. So I'd say that's a pretty strong dude. George Foreman said he was mean and every word came out of his mouth was a curse when the cameras was enrolling on him. He said he was really illiterate that's what he found out later. He probably had became that way because people wasn't very nice to him. Google the articles of him fighting Wayne Bethea, and sunny knocked out like seven teeth with one punch and broke like another 7 or 9. Dig into it yourself. The s*** really sounds incredible
Sonny was keeping track of the odds he knew he was a big favorite, that’s why he said you’d have to be a fool to bet on himself because it would be hard to win money because he was such a big favorite
@@H.K.5 no he seemed like the hero, he's the greatest, boxings Superman. Sonny Liston was an actual criminal and had mob ties, also born an illegally kept slave who found boxing way out of his prime and still beat young people.
are you kidding me? Liston was a rough neck.older guys in ST Louis that I knew when I was there said people would cross the street when they saw him coming. he would grab them up in the chest run his hand down in there pockets and take there money. he didn't ask can they spare some change.he didn't ask at all walk up grab in the collar run had in pocket and take! and say get the fu** on punk a** mother f*****. this guy robbed Gas Station's beat people up for the mob. you want some one beat up dial 1-800-SONNY LISTON. he was that guy. fighter Wayne Bethea, Sonny Liston knocked out like six or seven of his teeth with one punch. copies of old st. Louis police records in the book of St Louis gangsters, indicate how the police had to double handcuff him because he could rip off a set of handcuffs. and its personality was even tougher. he toned it down for the TV cameras back then because everything was much more appropriate it wasn't all open like it is now. even big George Foreman said he was afraid of him. George Foreman was his young sparring partner because none of the other guys could take Sonny's punches. Mike Tyson and George Foreman said in their in their young boxing careers when everybody was afraid of them they would just trying to act like Sonny Liston. Mike Tyson and George Foreman say he was the real bad ass.
@@karin588 Yes but you must know on his way to the Title he went through the entire top 10 Heavyweights bar 2(Johanson/Cooper) who both refused to fight Sonny nobody else has ever done that he sure had the beating of every Heavyweight on the Scene & after Fight 2 Liston went 14/0 & the WBC still wouldn't give him another go at the Title not bad for a man at 40+ or however old he was but it was his choice to get in the Ring with the GOAT
@jamesbernstone2961 The timespan doesn't change. Lol If he was 40 when he fought Ali, he would have started boxing at 32. No such thing as "Prime Liston".
Hes already a muslim, but he didnt want announce yet He declare his new name 2 days after he beat sonny, i guess he doesnt want to gamble his new name with first loss
Cap but lost on his career even know it's fucked up but ali 1 of the best Frazier and sonny and some more woulda smashed Muhammad.earlier but he wasnt ready when Sonny was out there that's y he said when he first got there he was hoping he aint ever have to fight liston everyone know wassup 💯💯
Actually Sonny started at around age 23-24 in prison. But it took him nearly 10 years to get a title shot, because of his criminal history-mob connections.
@Billy Bob he was much older than that, by the time he fought for the title against floyd patterson he was in his late 30s. Against muhammad ali he was around 40
@@abbasaljaishi7829many did. Doesn’t mean that they weren’t some of the best boxers to walk the face of the earth, it just means at that moment Ali was better.
The God's honest TRUTH is that nobody--NOBODY said Sonny was "old" until the just turned 22 year old Ali '-then Cassius Clay--gave Sonny Liston a boxing lesson+ terrible beating tearing a cut under Sonny's left eye that requires several stitches and a butterfly bandage. Only AFTER Cassius Clay shook up the world and so badly beat Sonny did they make excuses about Liston's age.
"They have to be a fool to bet on me" damn sonny liston really was dead inside after he won the title but was still treated like a criminal and an outcast. Rip
@Billy Bob sonny liston wasn't as a smooth talker like Cassius clay , Cassius clay was a couple of talking level of sonny liston, , Muhammad Ali did simular stuff to Joe frazier , original fight it help promote the fight
Loved Ali but people have no idea what kind of monster Sonny Liston was. A year earlier even Ali said he wouldn’t get in the ring with Liston. This was the greatest upset in boxing history up until that time.
@@Shiro642 he wasnt a handsome guy No! But he dont have age lines either. Thats about right 32. Because he he was older he couldnt compete even close with a young Ali in hand speed. And your hand and foot speed dont lie!
I love it, but 10/0 is a 0% chance that Clay won't last the first round, which means he has a 100% chance of making it out of the first round? Math is not the best strong suit for Liston.
he was a mean ass man, thats why everyone was afraid of him, thats why he was in the book of ST Louis gangsters. not because he was a nice guy. he could be very vicious and ruthless. he act nice for the camera
Its a shame that specific fight was rigged as sonny was in with the mafia ali was scared to fight him at first he admitted that later on sonny had died in 1970 they assumed that he was killed by the mob as they found a load of neadle marks in his arm
Oh talk is so cheap. 1979 he met the Easton Assassin and he was not young pretty nor fast.. 20 years later he was a shadow. Couldn't talk moved with a lot of difficulty and definitely couldn't box. But he actually was a honorary statesman Even he couldn't have seen that

Sonny was so underrated
I meet Liston in 63 he was down to earth but Ali told him he's gonna get whipped!
