"Break men off, take men out, make me wanna slander
Prime Time, my rhyme defense beyond Deion Sanders
I walk the earth with my Rod in this Strick-land
Promise, people thought I was Thomas Hearns the way I Hit Man"

Billy Joel references Marciano and Sugar Ray in "We Didn't start the Fire"

Mark Knopfler's "Ballad of Sonny Liston"

]

That's a great song.

I met Mark Knopfler in a pub the other week. He had some friends with him and he was carrying a large picture frame and a bag of chips.
I was talking to him, as I was quite a fan of his music, and he mentioned .."I was at the Auction House and got an original rare French Impressionist painting and I got something from the chippy on the way home"

The guy is obviously a millionaire, so I asked him how much all that cost
"Fuck all" said Mark.."I got the Monet for nothing and the chips for free"

[Freedom]

"I'm a lover not a fighter - if you want a fighting partner, go live with Cassius Clay"

Took 4 years to find it but that's some genuine corn

Think this is more inspired by Turpin than Liston -
