I don't rate Liston, Ali saw it, he was beatable.
Like Foreman, I think people were beaten before they got in the ring with Liston.
When you get down to it, he wasn't great.
That is harsh on Liston. Sonny was the dawn of the 200lb plus heavyweight and was a monster at the time. Jersey was very skilled but would have been small so think Sonny would have won with his ram rod jab alone. Ali was a tough man and is unique.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
