I actually think it was a legit shot....Part physical and part mental....Ali was Listons Boogie-man
Liston threw both fights in my opinion, he was a bully and as what usually happens when bullies don't get their own way they turn and run, i have seen Liston take some real bombs there is no way that shot knocked him out, and the shoulder injury in the first fight, coincidence anyone
