View Full Version : ali vs liston "phantom punch" ? DiEgO_cHiCo_CoRRaLeS 03-09-2006, 04:02 AM why was that punch called "the phantom punch? Ali clearly connected to listons temple & his foot comes off the ground, so its obviously a pretty sloid punch? Tony Blitz 03-09-2006, 04:16 AM why was that punch called "the phantom punch? Ali clearly connected to listons temple & his foot comes off the ground, so its obviously a pretty sloid punch? What, did you think it's called a Phantom punch cause his ghostly hand went through his ****ing head? DiEgO_cHiCo_CoRRaLeS 03-09-2006, 04:32 AM What, did you think it's called a Phantom punch cause his ghostly hand went through his ****ing head? **** off back to the lounge where you belong you loser! you no NOTHING about boxing Tony Blitz 03-09-2006, 04:35 AM **** off back to the lounge where you belong you loser! you no NOTHING about boxing This is coming from a guy who thinks the Phantom Punch was named that for being paranormal. Derranged 03-09-2006, 07:45 AM The punch clearly landed in the replay. Relax guys, be nice :) DiEgO_cHiCo_CoRRaLeS 03-09-2006, 05:57 PM This is coming from a guy who thinks the Phantom Punch was named that for being paranormal. people call it the phantom punch because they think liston took a dive and didnt get hit! so shut up and go make more would you hit it threads dickhead! Crumble 03-09-2006, 07:44 PM it didnt look like a big enough punch to win a fight, but looks can be decieving and the only person who ever knew Liston I guess. Dark Destroyer 03-09-2006, 08:31 PM It's the punch you don't see that knocks you out. :) Dempsey 1919 03-10-2006, 03:12 PM that punch did not knock liston out. Easy-E 03-10-2006, 04:51 PM why was that punch called "the phantom punch? Ali clearly connected to listons temple & his foot comes off the ground, so its obviously a pretty sloid punch? it was so fast initially that you couldnt see it. it also shouldnt have knocked sonny out, he has a good chin and clearly stayed down on his own accord Double 03-10-2006, 05:27 PM The punch landed cleanly but Liston could of got up. How many one punch knockouts did Ali have? And Liston was no pu$$y, but he was connected to the mob, the fix was in. Tony Blitz 03-10-2006, 05:58 PM that punch did not knock liston out. Sonny looked around for a spot to land and threw his arms in front, you could also tell by his horrible acting skills when he was on the ground. The_One77 03-10-2006, 06:01 PM i believe Liston just didnt want to get up, he knew he was gonna get beaten up again. A real determined Liston would of easily got up and maybe wouldn't of got knocked down at all. He either took a dive, or just plainly lost the heart to go on. ELPacman 03-10-2006, 06:03 PM Well, did Ali ever comment after the fight about it? I think he's the only one that knows the truth behind it. He should know whether or not his own hand connected and comment on it. Heck, he's still alive, try asking him, he MAY give you an answer! The_One77 03-10-2006, 06:07 PM yeah, he said that the punch landed.....(from his biography and interview) DiEgO_cHiCo_CoRRaLeS 03-10-2006, 06:48 PM Well, did Ali ever comment after the fight about it? I think he's the only one that knows the truth behind it. He should know whether or not his own hand connected and comment on it. Heck, he's still alive, try asking him, he MAY give you an answer! you can tell it landed, liston's head rocked back! Johnny Blayzz 03-10-2006, 07:06 PM I agree it (The Phantom Punch) landed and it's ironic you wrote this thread because this came up at a live Boxing Show just outside Toronto last night. From what I heard many boxing "mad scientists of the sweet science" still argue about the true imapct of the punch as the replay clearly shows the punch landed. Only Liston knows what kinda damage the punch did, but you gotta remember that this happened in a totally different era where pro sports being fixed was a lil more shadier than today and even if Liston took a dive, who really knows why??? |
