Clip: The Famous "Phantom Punch" from Ali to Liston

[Nautilus]

Liston didn't even see it coming.

Pretty good shot, eh?

Great Gif, man.

liston didnt take a dive, he just quit and decided to go down.

he said to mark kram "he hit me with a light punch and i went down. i wasnt hurt, i just didnt want of fight him anymore."

an interesting quote

He should've just waited until the round ended and faked an injury.

Liston was Tysons hero too. Their lives was eerily similar.

[Tarver is my dad]

The punch that Ettiene got knocked out from was legit. I played it many times in slow motion and it clearly landed flush on his chin. I believe Ettiene could have gotten up from that punch, but just gave up cuz he didnt wanna feel more of Tyson's power.

and in truth what is so similar about them in the 1st place other then being feared in the ring .tyson is not into the mafia .they both been in jail big deal so have a lot of fighters

That's exactly how I saw it.
If we compare the punch delivered from Ali that resulted in Liston falling and the punch delivered from Tyson that resulted in Etienne falling....which one looks more like a dive?

neither looks like a dive to me
u have to compare who threw the punches too
we know tyson is a desctrucive one hitter quitter
and that punch on etienne looked like it had everythin tyson had left in him for that split second
he threw that one to keep him out

ali def had power
maybe not one punch ko power
like lights out no more no more
thats why liston went down the way he did
just dazed
simple
quick strong right that he didnt see coming

it was like KT punch on judah
to me
that punch shouldnt have knocked judah as senseless as it did
but it did

No, I was just mentioning how similar their lives were.
