Clay Denies Fix in Liston Bout and White Hope Idea
Cassius Clay dismissed fix claims after his Lewiston title fight saying Sonny Liston was too dull and slow to fix a fight. He argued a fixed bout would not show in one round and touted his punch power. Clay floated George Chuvalo as a possible opponent and urged a white heavyweight challenger to broaden boxing’s appeal. He also said he would defeat Ernie Terrell if given the chance.
