@BONDGIRLRAQUEL And best advice; go for the Tunney-Dempsey long count.
Sonny Liston was arrested 19 times, went to prison in 1950 for armed robbery and was released in 1952. Within 10 years he won the heavyweight championship.
World champ Charles "Sonny" Liston with his wife, Geraldine, circa 1964. Feast your eyes on Sonny's oversized dukes, the largest of all big man kings at 15 inches. His knuckle hammers were so huge all his fight gloves had to be custom made. #Heavyweight #History #Boxing
Long shot underdog Cassius Clay and world champ Sonny Liston signal their predictions for their 1964 clash in Miami Beach as they receive their pre-fight medicals. The future Muhammad Ali became the new king when Sonny quit after round six. #Heavyweight #History #Boxing
Future champ Sonny Liston corners a bloodied Willi Besmanoff in #Cleveland in 1959. The tough #German did not answer the bell for the 7th. The win raised Liston's record to 26-1 and confirmed his status as a major threat to Floyd Patterson. #Heavyweight #History #Boxing #Legend
Defending world champion Floyd Patterson and top contender Sonny Liston on the cover of Boxing Illustrated in 1962. Liston would score a first round KO at Comiskey Park in #Chicago to become the new king of the big men. #Heavyweight #History #Boxing #Legends
Without doubt, one of the saddest ever tweets i’ve posted. RIP Ken Buchanan. One of THE greatest fighters ever to have come from the U.K. I think Ken’s reputation will grow with time. I for one - as I’m sure many will, am raising a wee dram for the great Scotsman tonight 🥊❤️🏴
Muhammad Ali celebrates, Sonny Liston contemplates his fate, and ref Jersey Joe Walcott tries to locate the timekeeper, after Ali lands his "anchor punch" in Lewiston, #Maine in 1965. End result: a controversial 1st round KO for The Greatest. #Heavyweight #History #Boxing

Famous photo of former world champion Sonny Liston in #LasVegas in 1967. One of the all-time hardest punchers. Wins over Cleveland Williams, Zora Folley, Nino Valdes, Eddie Machen, and Floyd Patterson. Final record: 50-4 with 39 KOs. #Heavyweight #History #Boxing #Legend
@BONDGIRLRAQUEL He expected a hero’s welcome in Philly, but none came and the cops finally drove him out of town and on to Denver.
OTD in 1964 Cassius Clay stopped Sonny Liston in the seventh round in Miami Beach in one of the great heavyweight title fight upsets. Here's Liston discussing Clay (later known as Muhammad Ali) with Max Goldberg before the fight. VC: Legends of Boxing in Color
"All that safe, predictable 'Leave It To Beaver' stuff is gone, folks. Show got cancelled last year." It was #OnThisDay, a prizefight that truly "shook up the world." Check it out: thefightcity.com/clay-defeats-l… #Boxing #History #OnThisDay #Sports #OTD #MuhammadAli #Florida
59 years ago today. We’ll never know what really happened. #ListonClay #SonnyListon
Program cover for the 1963 rematch between Sonny Liston and Floyd Patterson in #LasVegas. Incredibly, the result was virtually identical to their first duel: KO in round one for Liston. At this point, the new world champ appeared unbeatable. #Heavyweight #History #Boxing #Legends
Sonny and Joe were close to the end. Sonny occasionally subbed Joe for his gambling and Joe delivered a moving eulogy at Sonny’s funeral. 52 years gone now.
Sonny Liston tunes in to some words of hard-won wisdom from the great Joe Louis, circa 1962. Make no mistake, these are two of the all-time most deadly punchers. Imagine both in their primes going to war: talk about big man mayhem! #Heavyweight #History #Boxing #Legends
There is yet hope.
