Reputations: Sonny Liston: the Champion That Nobody Wanted

on BBC Two England

The sixth film in this eight-part series presents a profile of the controversial heavyweight champion. An ex-convict who learned to box in prison, his mob connections almost guaranteed him notoriety and his reputation was finally destroyed by allegations of fight-fixing in his title bouts with Floyd Paterson and the then unknown Cassius Clay.
