Title: Smashes a sacred cow with a hard left
Product review: Sonny Liston was an animal. Sonny Liston was a lowlife. Okay, he was no role model. Sonny Liston was a problem for society. But inside a boxing ring, Sonny Liston was a force of nature: he could pummel opponents like no one before him.This book treats Liston's life as an American tragedy and makes a compelling case that he was made to throw both Muhammad Ali fights under direct orders of the Mob. After reading this entertaining book, it is only possible to look at the famous photo of Ali raising his victorious arms above the prone Liston, with a wry and knowing smile about how fraudulent was the result.If you are a fan of Muhammad Ali, you will squirm while reading this book. If you despise Ali, this book is a must for your library.
