Ali's so called phantom punch against Liston...Ali called it the SCREWDRIVER PUNCH - but who taught Ali the SCREWDRIVER PUNCH...?
|
|
By:
yup, but I'm tired.
|
|
By:
I'm tired too - so tired that I can't remember the answer.

I would guess at Sugar Ray Robinson.

By:
Me too, BC, or Joe Louis?

Stepin Fetchit !
You can google him in the morning Big Charlie...after your full English...the first black millionaire from the world of entertainment, apparently. Quite a guy. Ali loved him and kept him on the payroll when Stepin's dough was gone. |

There's a brilliant bit in William Klein's documentary where Ali thanks Stepin' for the punch - Ali was unreal.
They're chilling out on a motel balcony, talking about this crazy punch. |

Greatest ever sportsman?
Tiger Woods? Nah. |

If you haven't seen that film, you've got to see it, Tommy. Never seen a character like young Ali, ever, ever, ever, ever.

Vel, is that the one you told me was on late one night a few years ago - which led me to actually get my Freeview box working for the first time in about 12 months?
|
|
By:
Never knew about the punch coming from him, Vel
and it's bed time now, for me. Goodnight all |

I think so, Tommy...on BBC4. I got the tape for £1.99 in a bargain bin. Klein just followed Cassius Clay about before the first Liston fight - some great footage, Malcolm X included. He asks the general public :
Who wins this fight? Liston, Liston, Liston, Liston... |
|
By:
Good night Big Charlie and all.
|
|
By:
Yes, that was the one, Vel - I remember the Malcolm X bit in particular.
|
|
By:
BTW - Liston V Leotis Martin is on YouTube - IN COLOR !
|
|
By:
I'll have to have a look at that later Vel!
Goodnight, if you're going. |
|
By:
Oh well, once I looked at the Martin v Liston fight I wandered to Ali v Williams, Wepner, Bonavena, Quarry, and more, and that's nearly three hours gone.
