you know liston came from a family of 25? his dad used to whoop em so badly that he'd goto his father when he wasnt whipped a day, and say 'Don't I get a whooping today?' I'm not bull****ting, he had the scars to prove it. when he was like, 12, he stole all his brothers pecans off his tree and brought em to the city, sold em for a bus ticket...to, I forgot where...a large city. chicago i think..He gets there, and asks a bum about his mother, who tells him where she is...gets there, starts living with them, then starts doing all kinds of dirt...But the ****er only had one shirt, this yellow checkered shirt, so it was easy for the cops to hem him up...He became known as the 'Yellow Shirt Bandit', he actually mugged a guy once that netted him five cents. His best lick was a drugstore, netting 36 bucks...He was caught later that night walking home from a bbq joint. read about all this in a book called, 'king of the world' by david remnick, btw.
and thats the story of a young liston. good poker face on him, as well...I haven't seen as much of him as I have the other fighters though, plus I assumed the thread starter meant current fighters.
