You mean the cream that went into ALi's eyes????

That was not Liston's fault. At the very least, it was probably his trainers fault.

Yeah, apparently the mob is suspected of killing him. That's just one of the theories.

I think you're talking about the "stuff" that liston put in his gloves in the ali fight that compromised ali's vision for a few rounds. the reason it ain't talked about much is because liston lost. had he won, it would've been a different story.

nobody made a big deal of vargas using roids against delahoya because fernando lost. however, the margarito situation is a big deal because he won against cotto.

Because people from past eras werent as big of whiny *****es looking to discredit everything other fighters did.
