  • Summary

  • Feared inside the ring and out, Sonny Liston was the most intimidating heavyweight boxer to ever climb between the ropes.


    At his best, he crushed the greatest fighters in his division as he forged a path to the heavyweight title. But his was a life of crime, violence and mayhem. Even Mike Tyson once said, Sonny Liston made him look like a boy scout.


    Often reduced to a brute by the media or presented as a misunderstood object of pity, Liston was one of the most enigmatic of champions. Today we shed some light on this tragic figure.
