I'm a big Ali fan as well, but as Nick Tosches suggests, and I now tend to agree with, Liston threw both fights, esp the second one. Ali didn't have the punching power to take out a man of Liston's size and strength that fast, not to mention that Liston was felled by a "phantom punch." Add Liston's involvement with the boxing underworld, and . . .
