Skeets, So, Ali was not the greatest. Cassius Clay was. <g> What I loved about Clay was that nearly every boxer who fought him claimed they had beaten him and that the ref stopped the fight for no reason. Uh, guys, he hit you 7,826 times and you hit him not at all. True, he didn't have much of a punch, but what he did have found your face every round. And you can only lose so much blood and have only so many eyes dangling below your nose before a ref has to do something. <g> It's funny you mentioned Liston's injury. I watched the Tough Man heavyweights this weekend and 3 guys left bouts with shoulder seperations. I'd never seen that before. You've gotta hear Chuck E. Weiss's musical take on today's heavyweight boxers. The song is called "Sonny Coulda Licked All Them Cats." Which is probably true. He was a tough son of a gun, though much older than reported on his bio. He may have been as old as 46 for the first fight against Cassius X.
