Sonny Liston and Muhammad Ali were very different. For one, Liston was quiet but brutal in the ring. Ali was outspoken and knew how to agitate his opponents and crowds. He was also the master showman and knew how to sell tickets to his fights. Liston was sick and tired of Ali's taunting and promised to destroy him in the ring during their first encounter.
