Ali/Liston II in Lewiston, Maine. Liston was dropped by the famous anchor punch. He was managed by mobsters, Frankie Carbo and Blinky Palermo. Look at Liston struggling to get up- looks fake to me.
I've read that many of Primo Carnera's fights were fixed by the mob. Carnera/Sharkey II was Primo's best win, imo. Was it fixed, or was Carnera good enough to win the lineal heavyweight title?

Whether Liston threw it or not i don't think he would've won anyway. Sonny is a top 5 HW for me, but that was the prime Ali who i think was the best ever fighter and who hadd just knocked Liston out the year before.
