Sonny Liston was the biggest and baddest Heavyweight fighter of them all. He had a jackhammer jab, a left hook that had KO written all over it, and he was generally impervious to opponent's punches. He dominated the heavyweights from 1956-1964 (up until Clay). Yet, because of his lurid prison past, the sportswriters disliked him and he never got his "due" as a truly great heavyweight champion. Well, author Paul Gallender tries to right this wrong with his excellent book on Liston. He argues that Liston was not the thug that most writers made him out to be. He makes a fair case of showing the "softer" side of Liston, but from my perspective, the evidence is pretty thin that Liston was anybody's boy scout.Whenever the name Liston comes up in boxing talk, fans want to know the answers to these three questions: 1. Did Liston quit due to a legit injury in the first Clay fight, or was he told to quit? 2. Why did Liston throw the second Clay/Ali fight? 3. How did Liston really die?While the author adequately and convincingly answers question #1, it is apparent that he sheds no definitive light on the next two questions. Yes, he has theories, but he offers no more than any other book on these last two issues. And for me, this is the reason I purchased the book - to learn more about the dive with Ali and his "mysterious" death. Gallender disappoints on these last two points. Overall, Gallender makes a fine case for considering Liston one of the greatest heavies ever, and posits that only Ali could have beaten him. After reading this book, I tend to agree.I devoured this book in one day. It is a very different look at Liston, although I believe his favorable presentation of Liston is quite biased. The author downplays Liston's assault on a St. Louis policeman and his conviction for armed robbery, as well as his numerous arrests. Did the police harass Liston? Yes indeed. Was Liston treated unfairly by the press - most likely. Was Sonny Liston a saint?Boxing fans will enjoy this unique look at the Big Bear, Charles "Sonny" Liston.kone
This book does a great tribute to Sonny Liston, who apparently is one of the most misunderstood celebrities of the Twentieth Century. That is probably the best thing the book accomplishes for the reader. The next best thing is that it prompts the reader to find even greater in-depth knowledge, which I will be doing when I finish this book. I am sorry to give a book that I believe to be such a great tribute to its subject three stars, but it is the most wretchedly proof-read book I have seen in a long time. Spelling errors abound, but what is even worse, when conveying information about public figures I found at least one misspelling of a person's name. If you are going to go out on a limb with sensitive information, the name in question absolutely must be correct. I don't care how "digital" your processes have become, great proof-reading apparently needs to be done by live, well-educated people.
Sonny Liston had one of the saddest lives imaginable.This book shows the many sides of Sonny Liston.I was a kid when Sonny was going to fight Floyd Patterson and everybody was talking about it.People treated Sonny horribly.A lot of writers wrote bad things about him then thought he was a moody when they talked to him.They called him a criminal,thug,animal,convict and mafia associate.At that time boxing was run by the mob and all fighters had dealings with them.Many things are addressed here like the Patterson fight,his childhood,Ali escapades and fights and his real age.Its too bad he did not have enough REAL FRIENDS.His true love was his kindness to children which makes him a good man.
Rarely has a public figure, a celebrity, lived a life that raised as many unanswered questions as Sonny Liston. The lineal heavyweight champion of the world was a man of seemingly endless contradictions. His life after losing the heavyweight title was lived under a shroud of murkiness. His death, to this day, is an unsolved mystery.Bob Mee, in his fine book about the intersection of Muhammad Ali and Liston in their two fights probes the psyche and life of Sonny Liston as completely up to that time as any writer ever has. He contrasts the personalities of the two athletes, and details the new breed of journalist of the time who had become lazy and self-centered, looking for glib athletes to feed them storylines, and tearing down those who would not cooperate. Liston was an easy target.Paul Gallender, in his first book, explores the myths of an athlete who never really had a fair shot in public opinion. A man who might have been a thug, but was a loyal friend. Who might have been one of the smartest heavyweight champions (aside from Gene Tunney), but was portrayed as an ignorant oaf. Who was a devoted husband, but a serial philanderer. Who had a lockdown training regimen, yet went soft and lazy prior to the Cassius Clay fight.Was he a decent, slightly flawed man just trying to make a living? Or was he a career criminal worthy of all the arrests and harassments from police departments in every city he lived in. He loved children, and was close to his clergy. Was that the true Liston, or was it the mob courier, as portrayed in James Ellmore "The Cold Six Thousand"?And what of Liston's life after the title? Does anyone really know how he supported himself? At some point, FBI files will de-classify, and maybe a truer picture can be painted. Bob Mee hints that Liston was running drugs outside of the mob's tacit approval, and this prompted his violent death.This book leaves many questions unanswered. While Gallender brings up, and brushes past many of Liston's rough edges, the drinking, the whoring, wild spending, the drug use, he does not thoroughly explore them, as much as his other inconsistent characteristics. While he extols Liston's virtues as a fighter, and there were many, he doesn't really break down his flaws in the ring.Still, this has to be considedered up to this time the definitive story of an American Sports enigma. Hats off to Mr. Gallender for his work.
