The History of the Heavyweight Championship

1962

Welcome to 1962: Steve Bunce continues his tour through the best decade in the history of the heavyweight championship. Floyd Patterson finally gives Charles Sonny Liston a shot at the title. The fight is expected to be the most profitable in the history of the sport, and will lead to the famous quote: "There is a big difference between having fear in you, and being a coward. [He] had fear in him, but he wasn't no coward." For show notes, pictures and more, visit https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/boxing/ Hosted on Acast.
