PEOPLE WHO DON’T KNOW SONNY LISTON, SAY THE DUMBEST THINGS. FOR INSTANCE,” SONNY HAD STOPPED BOXING ALREADY WHEN HE WAS KILLED”. AS MY GRANDMA POCAHONTAS USED TO SAY. “PEOPLE DON’T USE THE BRAIN THAT GOD GAVE THEM.” SONNY LISTON WAS FIGHTING HIS WAY UP THE RANKS BEFORE HE DIED. HIS FIGHT CONSISTENCY AT THAT TIME COULD NOT BE MATCHED EVEN BY TODAYS STANDARDS. HIS LAST FIGHT WAS WITH CHUCK WEPNER. SIX MONTHS LATER HE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK.

Sonny Liston was a family friend. I have personal letters from Sonny/Jerry do you? Not sure you know a hell of a lot about them..
A few things to say with regard to the letters. If he has letters or photos or other stuff and they have been in his hands for decades they are his property and he can sell them if he chooses.
If he would like to chat with me I am more than happy to jump on a call. While his tone towards me was disrespectful and knows little about me , I will chat if everyone thinks it makes sense.
You might add if you so desire , Harlan was generating badly needed revenue for Geraldine when everyone was using Sonnys image and not paying a dime.
