    Yes, I am very good friends with Chuck and his wife. I also have the boxing gloves that Liston wore for that bout.

          Hi Henry. I was impressed with the way Chuck kept coming at Liston despite the fact that he was getting carved up and picked apart. Then again Chuck only knew one way to fight and it wasn't going backwards. I had a good chuckle watching Al Braverman continue to wave Chuck towards Liston. I was reminded of the famous Liston quote:

          Q) Is Wepner the bravest man you've ever fought?

          A) No but his manager is!

            YES, I heard that before too!

            Chuck told me that Liston was the hardest puncher he ever fought.
