Sonny Liston ~ 'Career After Cassius Clay'

~ March 1966 ~

What They Said

Angelo Dundee

Sonny has forgotten how to fight. All those easy '1st-Round' Knockouts made him think that he was indestructible.

He then refused to develop or improve himself in training sessions. He thought that he could just walk out from his
corner, throw a few punches, and then go home.

Anybody with movement and good boxing skills will give him all that he can handle. He has heavy-feet, and cannot
move all that well in the Ring. He's also a slow-thinker.

You can't teach an 'Old Bull' new tricks.
