Just glossed over the story, but I always take issue with mfers misrepresenting the Ali vs Liston II fight.

The quote is supposedly what the author feels like what Liston mighta been thinking:
“**** this ****" and hit the deck to see out the count"

If anyone has watched that whole fight sure Liston gets dropped by a questionable punch but HE GETS BACK UP and the fight continues for a few seconds before the ref is told that he was on the wrong count & the fighter was down longer than 10 seconds. Liston DID NOT QUIT or STAY DOWN from that questionable punch (& very questionable "acting" when trying to get back up I'd even add).

That pic of Ali standing over Liston is such a ironic picture I think mfers forget or don't even know what really happened after the knockdown.

PTI ....

he shouldnt have gone down in the 1st place. that was less than a love tap, tbh.

I'm not arguing that point or his acting while getting up & said as such in my post you quoted.

I'm saying he didn't lay on the ground & get counted out like dummies say or imply. Thats incorrect bullsh^t that far too many people don't seem to know or don't seem to care about.

Like I said I think that picture has become so famous people actually think the fight ended like that.

It didn't. LISTON GOT UP.

that is very true. i guess people were just mesmerized that he went down and looked like he died.

Oh yes, suffering with depression is such a cool and happening ailment to suffer with.
I’ve never read such a misinformed, ridiculous and plain ****** comment in my entire life.

Being a real man is calling brain damaged people pussies on the internet.

That's also common these days, people put something in your mouth you never said. What you say gets purposefully misinterpreting in the worst possible way.

Listen to what I'm saying: The author is creating a false narrative. We love to hear a good story about victims of society, oppression, the system, racism, sexism, bullying, diseases, accidents, ...

Not only are victims popping up left, right and center to get sympathy and attention, they can also monetize their "misfortune" via crowdfunding.

And then there are those social justice warriors creating narratives and "stepping up" for others. That's what's the case here, the author comes up with weird claims and creates those victims who could easily talk about those problems themselves - if they existed - and could also fix them.

people who are willing to take money in exchange of getting hit shouldnt complain. get into competitive video gaming if you want another option.
