He was a freak and strong neck muscles can help a fighter take a better punch, maybe Ali wouldnt have K.O'd a younger more in-shape Liston
Naww go back and watch the fight,or any of Ali's fight,Liston was a great fighter,but he wasnt an exceptional pursuer.If it isnt there you cant hit hit it.
And again,myths and mythos aside,Liston wasnt that old,he fought for 6 more years,compiling a record of 15-1 in that time
