Specter

 

 

 

 

 

 

At 2:06 of round number one, boxing's worst nightmare became a reality. In the same stadium where Joe Louis forty years before washed clean the sins of Jack Johnson, Sonny Liston rekindled the flame of hatred that had burned so brightly in opposition to Jack Johnson that a quarter century passed before a black was allowed to fight for sports most cherished crown.

Now the specter of another bad black man was specter no more. He was real, and his name was

Charles Sonny Liston.
