"They said that the Heavyweight Champion was coming with us on the U.S.O. Tour. But he never showed up."

"One of the other Girls said that he was afraid. And I said, you mean Sonny Liston is afraid."

"And the other Girl said. No, not Sonny Liston. It's that other guy."

"But nobody knew his name."
