    ali vs liston "phantom punch" ?

    why was that punch called "the phantom punch?
    Ali clearly connected to listons temple & his foot comes off the ground, so its obviously a pretty sloid punch?

        This is coming from a guy who thinks the Phantom Punch was named that for being paranormal.

            people call it the phantom punch because they think liston took a dive and didnt get hit! so shut up and go make more would you hit it threads ****head!

              it didnt look like a big enough punch to win a fight, but looks can be decieving and the only person who ever knew Liston I guess.

                It's the punch you don't see that knocks you out.

                    it was so fast initially that you couldnt see it. it also shouldnt have knocked sonny out, he has a good chin and clearly stayed down on his own accord
