@@alprofit Hey Al. Love the work. Any chance you could do a story on the OJ/Fargo connection? OJs buddy was running a non violent coke ring for close to 20 years. I think it was 20 years. That's about when he opened his first bar.
You gotta remember that in the early days of The NOI a large portion of the FOI were recruited while in prison. You didn’t have a lot of Doctors and Lawyers in the NOI back then. It was a lot of former street dudes. Reformed thugs. They weren’t afraid of the Italian Mafia in the least. Ali was like thee only big name boxer not controlled by the Mob.

Great read I’m not a big reader but got it at the airport to read on the plane and couldn’t put it down. It would make a quality movie or even better a series
A story you might want to look into is professional wrestling's Jerry "the King" Lawler's kid Brian Christopher(aka Brian Lawler) who died while being held in Hardeman county jail under very mysterious circumstances. The story is too long to explain here, but going just from memory Brian Christopher had a habit, gets popped for driving under the influence, he was no stranger to county jail, had a personal beef with some c.o.'s, they set up a fight to teach him a lesson, Christopher got the better of fight, further infuriating officers and then he is found hanging in his cell and as i recall, he wasnt facing serious time where a person might decide to "opt out". The whole thing doesn't seem to add up. And some of them Southern county jails are run like little fiefdoms. I know Jerry Lawler filed a lawsuit against Hardeman county and the sheriff of Hardeman county.
John Sutton ALSO needs a documentary, fascinating to get the perspective of an African American in law enforcement (especially at the Federal level) and what that must have been like.
They really left him stinkin'😔I would put my money on the Mafia and his lady definitely was complicit in it. She just happened to go on a trip, only returning back once the deed was done.
Ali would never let someone take a fall for him ever , he stood ten toes down, Ali was the greatest , but non the less I been rocking with you for years now
We had boxing matches called smokers at Nottaway prison in Virginia in 2004. We also had basketball matches against out of state inmates from Connecticut that guards used to bet on at Wallens ridge super max in 2003.. we had slippers on and they had js on
Speaking of the mob pushing "H" onto the black community, did you ever see that "60 Minutes documentary from back in the late 70's early 80's about corruption in the Chicago PD part of which showed two CPD uniformed officers dealing "H" out of their marked patrol car parked in a lot right on 47th street on the South Side, in fact that lot was right around 47th and Indiana if I recall rightly.
It was a rigged fight. Period. Besides that, he was more powerful than Ali, tho Ali was great, too. The speculation makes for good entertainment, but we'll NEVER know the real truth...🤷🏿♂️
Not only did Ali clearly beat Liston in their 1st fight but Listen also CHEATED in that fight when his cornerman temporarily blinded Ali in the middle rounds by putting some substance on Liston's gloves! As for their 2nd fight that KO punch clearly landed on Liston's face and dropped him!
It kind of makes no sense that Sonny Liston had the mobs backing, but the Nation of Islam pressured him to take a dive in the Ali fight? That makes no damn sense, the mob backing down to the Nation of Islam? Is it possible?
these are the kind of stories that drew me into your channel many years ago
Yea he is so slept on
Sonny Liston needs an HBO series. His story is wild
I agree, my Gee
It is wild and he does need one

"The Murder of Sonny Liston" by Shaun Assael is an amazing book. Sonny was into all kinds of stuff
Yeah, that was a good book. Sad though.
Christmas 1964: " another day, another pain-in-the-ass two-bit motherfucking cop " ~ Sonny Liston
Another great video! Thanks for doing what you do!💯
Sonny Liston was built like a cement truck 👊🏻.
Suggested read Nick Tosche's The Devil And Sonny Liston. Thank you AMERICANDOPE.
Great read I’m not a big reader but got it at the airport to read on the plane and couldn’t put it down. It would make a quality movie or even better a series
One thing to remember is Sunny Liston was not in his prime when he got beat by Ali....He was alot older than what has been documented...
The mafia & boxing 😂was always first cousin's...sonny was told to take that lost
Yeah I don’t think he even knew hi proper age. Obvs to a certain degree. Different times

He is the real Shaft! His life and times would be an amazing series
@@alprofit Facts! Great work on these docs, Al!

Speaking of boxers, you weren't kidding about guys in LA on steroids. I just saw a picture of Oscar De LaHoya. Who is he trying to impress?
His new boyfriend!
No he def bought abs
@@jasonmoses7785 No he didn't.
@@kendi1417 ok whatever you say
Italians didn't want any problem's with noi
Don’t buy into that Godfather of Harlem stuff it’s Hollywood. I don’t think it quite went the way they portrayed it
Noi didn't want any problems with the ANP
Facts them Italians overrated by Hollywood
So they overrated themselves cause the mobs owned Hollywood for 100+ years 😂??
You watch too much Hollywood.
Liston was supposedly told by the Mob to lose to Ali for Gambling Purposes! 🤔😡
Heavy...like Scatter in SuperFly...or the more recent tragic loss of Pimp C...
We had boxing matches called smokers at Nottaway prison in Virginia in 2004. We also had basketball matches against out of state inmates from Connecticut that guards used to bet on at Wallens ridge super max in 2003.. we had slippers on and they had js on
Ironic it's called Nottaway.. like not a way u getting out.. it's a max
And we destroyed Connecticut.. I ran point, they cctved the games to the cells cause we had cable in the cells

Liston was a bad dude
It was a rigged fight. Period. Besides that, he was more powerful than Ali, tho Ali was great, too. The speculation makes for good entertainment, but we'll NEVER know the real truth...🤷🏿♂️
He might could say that about the 2nd fight BUT ALI BEAT HIS ASS THAT 1ST FIGHT SO THIS DUDE FOOLISH!!!!!
Sonny worked for me and Tony for years
Not only did Ali clearly beat Liston in their 1st fight but Listen also CHEATED in that fight when his cornerman temporarily blinded Ali in the middle rounds by putting some substance on Liston's gloves!
As for their 2nd fight that KO punch clearly landed on Liston's face and dropped him!
thank you for stating those facts
HE DIDN'T CHEAT EVEN ANGELO DUNDE SAID IT LATER
FBI ALSO THOUGH THE 1ST FIGHT WAS FIXED LOOOK HOW LISTON WAS PULLING HIS PUNCHES
This dude look and talk like the police. I don’t see how nobody can fall for him undercover
He definitely was murdered
Bro really?
AMERICAN 🌎 DOPE 💊 SONNY LISTON
Keep up the great work Sir 💯💯💯

Of course its possible! The Mafia are jist violent dummies with some organization. Dont give them too much credit
Floyd Patterson was too small
You should do a piece on the homie DC out of Detroit..Kronk gym indictments my man DC one of thee most solid MFs ever been in the USP
