Charles L. Liston, better known as Sonny Liston. One of boxing's most feared men of all time. Known for his power, he set fear into everyone's heart. Even Ali admitted that he was terrified of him. One stare of his and you would be petrified. He wasn't just an intimidator, he was a terrorizer. A terminator, a dominator.
Sonny had something that only a few boxers have and that is wall breaking, bone crushing power. He had alliances with the mob who ended turning their backs on him.
Liston had a troubled past being in a family with about 22 siblings, living with an abusive father and having to flee. Sonny fought on the streets and got arrested many times. In prison, he learned the art of boxing at an old age (only being an amateur for around one year before turning pro). Which is very impressive knowing the fact that he then went on to dominate an entire division.
To this day, not much is known is about his past aside from the mafia and prison. Not even his birthdate is fully known as people had to lie about his age. Not even Sonny knew his own age as he did not know how to read nor write. It is estimated that he was born in the 1920s or even 1910s.
I wanted to make a video about this legendary fighter who is so underrated and wanted to show how much of a beast he truly was. As I tried to find good music, I stumbled across Aram Zero and immidietely thought that it encaptured Sonny's Style perfectly and allowed for my creativity to run wild. Sonny will always be one of my favourite fighters! He was powerful, entertaining, had one of the best jabs ever, was smart inside the ring and faster than most people would think. It took me quite a while to make this video but I guess that is the price you have to pay to make everything perfect.
