What They Said

Cassius Clay



After me, I think that Sonny Liston is the next best Heavyweight out there. He can beat most
fighters out there with one-hand.

The sanctioning bodies should be ashamed of themselves for not him ranking him in the Top 10.
If he fought any of these guys, he would be an overwhelming favorite by the bookies.

If he gets 2 or 3 wins, he'll be right back at the Top. I'd fight him again next year. But I don't
think the Promoters would put up the money for that fight, unless the public demanded it.

Like I said, if Sonny gets a couple of wins, the public will give him another chance. They have
very short memories.
