I really enjoyed reading this thoughtful, well written article on Sonny Liston. He is a very intriguing and compelling figure and I have tried to read everything I can about him after reading Nick Tosches' book about him. I believe that Sonny was a great fighter-- who cleaned out the entire heavyweight divsion on his way to the championship--and he should be remembered for the great things he did in the ring rather than just the two fights with Clay/Ali. I hope the movie that is being made about him will portray him fairly and do something to improve his image as being just a thug. He was a lot better than that--as a fighter and a man.
