#352 - Loss, Death & Conspiracy - Sonny Liston: Part 3

This week, we finish up what is maybe the strangest, and most crime soaked life, in sports history. He shows the holiday spirit by fighting an entire police squad, on Christmas Day. He also is involved in one of the most iconic, and controversial fights, in history, against Ali. Did he throw the fight? Did the mafia make him? The Nation of Islam? In the end, Sonny winds up dead, in a terrible condition. Which leads to even more conspiracies? Was it a simple OD? Heart problems? Or, was he murdered? If so... Who did it? The mystery continues...


Fight 10 cops on Christmas Day, try to rehab your image by being a "nice guy", and have your death be a mystery, that endures for decades with Sonny Liston!!


Check us out, every Tuesday!


We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!
