Promoter Dundee Calls Clay Best Fighter He Has Seen
Miami promoter Chris Dundee rates Cassius Clay as the best fighter he has ever seen ahead of the February 25 heavyweight title bout with Sonny Liston at Miami Beach Convention Hall. He cites Clay’s 186 amateur fights and superior speed and reach as key factors, while noting Liston’s proven power. Dundee, co-promoter with Bill MacDonald, says Clay’s size and mobility could upset Liston, despite Liston’s dominance in Patterson fights.
