6-Mirtifisville Bulletin, Friday, May 28, :1965 (NtA Telephoto) WHO'S NEXT? A belligerent Cassius Clay glowers after decking Sonny Liston with the sudden fightending blow which is still subject to discussion and argument. Clay has made a post-fight guessing game. out of who is to be the next challenger-former champion Floyd Patterson or Canada's George Chuvalo. Clay's Lick Which Fell Liston Looked To Scribe As Short, Six-Inch Flick y. MURRAY ROSE Associated Press Sports Writer YORK (AP) Yes, Virginia, that was a right ha punch that Cassius Clay used to send Sonny Liston down to the deck for keeps.

We saw the punch at the ringside at Lewiston, Maine, Tues day night, and we saw it again on slow-motion movies studie Thursday Now the way Cassius tells Sonny was coming in to him and the punch had the impact "two cars colliding at 50 miles in hour." The way saw right against the ring Lewiston, and twice the studio, Clay landed flicking punch that traveled about six. inches. Sonny's head shook little 3 and then he Tell on the canvas as if he had been hit with hammer This either rates young Caswith the greatest six-inch hitters of all time or relegates the once fearsome Liston- ino the glass chin class with Floyd Patterson. Patterson the two time heavyweight champion who fell before Liston in 2:06 and 2:10 of the Arst. round and who is.

DOW seeking shot at Clay. It was amazing to anyone who has seen Liston in action that he should be felled for 17 seconds or so by such a womingly light blow from Clay. Liston never had been floored before. Marty Marshall had busted his jaw in 1954, and Liston kept on his feet and fought back -in his -only- defeat -until -he met the dancing and prancing Clay. He was nailed on the jaw by the pistol-packing Cleveland Williams, probably the hardesthitting heavyweight in the last 10 years, and went on to flatten the china-chinned Texan in three and two rounds.

It could be that old age finally caught up to Liston: He is listed 31, but he looked about 51 at the weigh-in for the Tuesday fight. He had the same strange look in his eyes that Jersey Joe Walcott had at the weigh-in of his second fight with Rocky Marciano. Walcott went out in the first -round, 100. They both appeared to be guys heading for their last meal before the execution.
