    Why do people forget Liston cheated vs Ali, and still quit?

    Liston one of those old school idols who apparently beats any heavyweight today In 1 round.

    I've never seen an heavyweight today use blinding powder to blind their opponent and then quit on the stool vs them, have you?

    That humiliation is Liston out of the ATG discussion right there, one of the most disgraceful incidents in heavyweight boxing history.

    Sick of hearing oh Liston he was so great, he was a cheater and a quitter and the mafia decided who won most of his fights.

      I never hear Listons name ever talked about. Ali, Foreman & Frazier I hear all the time.

        People always bring him up on here and how he would destroy Fury, Wilder, AJ and Usyk in 1 round a piece.

          Listen is too robotic. Easy prey for smart big heavyweights.
