Liston Vs Wepner Video

[SABBATH]

Wepner was a real character. Here is an appearance with Ali and Wepner on The Mike Douglas show prior to their fight. Part two is pretty funny as Chuck gives Ali all he can handle.

"decapitatingly powerful" good phrase. I plan to use it!

Hi Henry. I was impressed with the way Chuck kept coming at Liston despite the fact that he was getting carved up and picked apart. Then again Chuck only knew one way to fight and it wasn't going backwards. I had a good chuckle watching Al Braverman continue to wave Chuck towards Liston. I was reminded of the famous Liston quote:

Q) Is Wepner the bravest man you've ever fought?

A) No but his manager is!

i remember the commentators comparing the fight with ali with a classic cat vs dog fight. the dog (wepner) corners the cat (ali) then gets his face scratched to pieces!

liston had a great jab IMO only bruno foreman and holmes had comparablepower in their jabs.

I sense sarcasm!!

YES, I heard that before too!

Chuck told me that Liston was the hardest puncher he ever fought.

- -Henry knows!

The rest of us only wish we knew.
