I heard Don King put a gun to Liston head before the fight and convinced him to loose

Charles 'Sonny' Liston

Movies
* 'Harlow' ....... 1965 ........ A film about the 1930's 'blonde-bombshell' sex-pot actress Jean Harlow.
* 'Head' ......... 1968 ......... With the Television Musical group The Monkee's.
* 'Moonfire' .... 1969 ......... The '1st' Trucker/Big Rig movie.

Sonny was horrible in his brief appearance in the 'Harlow' movie, which was filmed in Black & White.

Sonny was decent in 'Head', which is now a cult-classic movie.

Sonny's acting was poor in 'Moonfire', as he mumbled through his lines.

What's the thread message?

[Beanflicker]

Ali threw a punch and the punch landed on Liston's chin as he was coming in. Wasn't much on the punch but when you're charging forward and you get hit in the right spot by a heavyweight, all bets are off as to whether or not it's going to take you out.

I believe Liston got dropped legit, but I do believe he decided not to get up (for whatever reason).

I heard the MOB got to him. I heard he thought Ali was insane and was afraid of Ali. I heard he had a drug problem. I heard he didn't get hit. I heard and think he did get hit. I heard the Muslims got to him. I've heard so much crap about that punch and that fight I'm tired of hearing about it. lol

Correct and to the point.

The only person who got to Sonny Liston, was Sonny Liston.

The 'money' was already in the 'bank', and Sonny could care less about Titles or Belts.

Sonny Liston

"A belt is something I use to hold my pants up, and to keep them from falling down."

"Titles are what is on the front cover of a book"

"Belts and Titles. I can't 'Fuck' them or 'Eat' them. What good are they for anyway."

I believe it was a legitimate punch and Sonny wanted to carry on.

Cassius Clay legitimately knocked out Sonny Liston in the 1st Round.
