The Modern History of Heavyweight Title Fights: Liston vs. Clay

[SweetPea]

Thread idea:

I enjoyed doing the "Scoring Controversial Fights" thread a while back. I was thinking about a new thread that would have a similar format.

Youtube has almost every heavyweight title fight of the past 40-45 years. There are only a few missing. I think it'd be interesting to watch all the heavyweight title fights in chronological order, starting in the early 1960s or so. I'd post a fight every couple days, and we could discuss/score/debate each fight. Then after a few days, I'd post the next fight. We'd go thru the title reigns of Liston, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Ali II, Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield, etc.

Anyone interested in this? If enough people show interest, I think it would make an interesting topic.

Here's the first fight of the thread:

Floyd Patterson (38-2) vs. Sonny Liston (33-1)
Comiskey Park
Chicago, Illinois
Septermber 25, 1962
