I believe he or his family later acknowledged it was a rigged fight.

I don't he just got caught cold. Liston at that point was a shadow of the fighter we once knew.

I can go on wikipedia and type anything I wanted to, mate, it can be edited by anybody. I watched at least 5 shows on it over the years and they all came to the same conclusion! That it wasn't.

even if it wasnt the punch just didnt seem that great and his flopping to the ground seemed like a performance
