    I belive Ali knocked him out. Because it had all his weight behind him, right on a weak spot and listion couldnt see it. It was the perfect mix. he threw his body forward with the punch in a split second because his feet got raised from the canvas.

    I also saw some BBC documentary where they used some advance stuff to make it all 3d. and it was a perfect punch. I dunno how much u can trust that though.
    I saw a documentary on BBC called "flying saucers have landed." Also I have seen the documentaries' "Schindler's list" and "Red Dawn."

      This what agitates me about this place. So many are youngsters who never saw some of the other fighters besides Tyson, yet everyone else sucks and Tyson is the "Greatest". So lets's compare Liston and Tyson:

      Liston: Possibly laid down in 2nd fight with Ali

      Tyson: Bit Holy not one but twice after trying to break his arm, Took a cheap shot on Buster Mathis Jr, Kept hitting Lou Saverse and knocked the ref down while the ref was trying to stop the fight, Tried to break Frans Botha's arm, Tried to break McBride's arm, Headbutted McBride on purpose and finally quit on his stool.

      And those are only things that happened in the ring. Those rose colored glasses that make Tyson look like a god must be a foot thick.

      Although he was no angel, Liston was a far better person, fighter and champion than Mike. Liston was even nice to kids instead of wanting to eat them.
