Charles Liston (1932 - 1970)

A talented fighter, it could be said that Sonny Liston's best weapon was intimidation. He had one of the best jabs in boxing and knock-out power in each hand, but Liston's balefull scowl often had opponents defeated before the first bell.

Liston's reputation as an invincible champion was shattered when he quit on his stool between the seventh and eighth rounds against challenger Cassius Clay 1964.
