Was just watching an interview with Chuvalo. He said Ernie Terrell manager threatened to kill his manager if Chuvalo won the fight. That created a Terrell Ali match up. And according to Chuvalo Terrell's manger threatend Ali's manger the same way. But he sent some black Muslims to deal with Bernie Klickman who was Terrell's manager and he ended up in a mental institution till he died.Thats how the first Chuvalo vs Ali fight was made. How often do you think things like that happen? I don't know many stories of peoples lives getting threatend to throw fights?

he should have known that threatening others can end up bloody, his own fault.

Liston was told similar things if he beat Ali in the rematch. Even Ali got threatening phone calls and had police and security guards following him when he trained for the Lewiston fight.

I just finished reading yesterday this Liston book called
Sonny Liston: His Life, strife, and the phantom punch. By Rob Steen.
It's a really good book, and it goes prtty in depth to Sonny's relation to mobsters and crooked people like Moe Dalitz who threatened to kill Liston.
