Naked Sport: Welcome to the Sewer (Outstanding boxing documentary - 1992)

Published on May 5, 2013

This rarely seen but brilliant PBS documentary candidly shows the reality of the darker side of professional boxing. Made in 1992, it closely follows the career of a young Shannon Briggs and features fascinating and honest interviews with Evander Holyfield, Larry Holmes, Teddy Atlas, the late Dan Duva, Kathy Duva, Lou Duva, Bobby Czyz, Bob Arum, Mike Marley with an appearance from the Greatest himself, Muhammad Ali.

For any serious fan of boxing, this is seriously not to be missed! Ripped from an old VHS copy, apologies for the slightly ropey quality in places.

Sonny Liston - ESPN Boxing Documentary

Published on Oct 21, 2013

Documentary on World Champion Heavyweight Boxer Sonny Liston.

Charles L. "Sonny" Liston (c. 1932 -- December 30, 1970) was an American professional boxer known for his toughness, punching power and intimidating appearance, who became World Heavyweight Champion in 1962 by knocking out Floyd Patterson in the first round. 

Liston failed to live up to his fearsome reputation in an unsuccessful defense of the title against Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali); underworld connections and an early death—along with his unrecorded date of birth—added to the enigma. 

He is ranked number 15 in Ring Magazine's 100 Greatest Punchers of All Time.

Sonny Liston Interview - Rare

Uploaded on Dec 9, 2011

My man. Very rare interview of Sonny Liston talking about how he got started in boxing, his fights with Williams and Patterson and his training routine. Don't confuse shyness with dullness, Sonny was reluctant to talk to the press - the always painted a bad picture of him.
