      But yeah, just for everyone's information, it was filled with blanks and likely scripted/part of a movie, I can't remember which one.

      What wasn't scripted was Ali loading up a bus full of people, mainly women, driving up to Liston's house and getting them all to jeer at him.
      No it isn't. But I'll let you figure this out on your own.

        Yep.
        Also you can tell it's a movie clip from how Ali looks. He's no where near as fresh faced as he was back when he faced Liston.

          No SSS****. I can't believe I went through a page and a half before someone pointing this out. I think the movie is called The Greatest. And every thing on Clay was in black and white in 1964 and he was thinner and looked younger.

              Mayorga would have caught those bullets with his teeth then proceed to hack Liston up with his trusted machete.

                    Liston couldn't even hit Ali at point blank range with a gun. ATG.

                      Yes it is, I've seen it in a BBC version and another one which I watched on the BBC. Bye now

                      Edit: I might have seen it on an ESPN doc too.
