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."
