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

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?
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.

Not you too McMaster.

Piss off Bill.
Bill certain people have ~different~ shall we say senses of humor and very little LEVITY---ahh yes, levity, that thing that keeps people from being all-too-serious
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche wrote very prolifically on how Europeans were suffering from ALL-TOO-SERIOUSNESS. How true that is today, Bill. So keep up the levity, Bill. You will live longer than the all-too-serious, morose, nit-picking types. I DO PRAY TO GOD ABOUT THAT, ANYWAY ;)
p.s. "The Greatest"'s real number of losses was:
Jones
Frazier 1
Norton 1 2 and 3
Jimmy Young
Earnie Shavers
Leon Spinks 1
Larry Holmes
Trevor Berbick
for a whopping total of 10 losses. Whereas Marciano had ZERO losses..... hmmmmmmmmm
Very True 'Triple B',
On some other sites, if you criticize anything about Muhammad Ali, you are labeled 'a racist'.
What they want to hear > is when you greet Muhammad Ali at your front door is to say >
"Come on in Champ. Here's my daughter, why don't you 'Fuck' her while I make some sandwiches."
"Come on in, The Greatest! You are God! We know this because you told Joe Frazier on March 8, 1971, all during the fight. Here's Joe Frazier, by the way, already here having a cup of Joe. Hey Muhammad, why don't you call him a "~MONKEY~" and a ~"GORILLA"~ and an ~"Uncle Tom"~ and an ~"IGNORANT NEGRO"~ LIKE YOU ALWAYS USED TO CALL HIM, AND LIKE YOU CALLED FLOYD PATTERSON, ETC.???"
FOR ALL THE ALI SICOPHANTS OUT THERE----he did NOT only talk like that to "~~~sell tickets~~~~", he talked like that between fights when he hadnt even signed for a new fight yet. He was a SCUMBAG. Egotistical self-centered scumbag.
