Switch Patterson with M Spinks

[Ben Bolt]

He was training on whiskey for the first fight expecting a rollover on young and dumb Clay.

A mix-up?
Yes, he probably expected a rollover in their first encounter, but he was in great shape.

Unlike their second meeting. Liston suffering of depression wasn't well prepared for that fight.

Wtf? I never heard that before. What’s your source?

--- gee, guess I've thumbed thru 200 various fighter bios over the years. I'd guess one of the latest bios that deals with Listons death while working thru his life.

Guys name escapes me, but heavily touted a few years back. It's pretty well documented Liston went into decline after winning the title like most fighters.

Whiskey training? I wonder if that’s really true.

--- Max Baer trained on beer and girls, and it showed.

Liston was a reported stud as well as the whiskey, the proverbial wine, women and song of dissipation of top fighters..
