Very little debate Liston took a dive in both fights. His gambling debts were huge.

There was a time When I believed Lem Banker was helping Liston, a drug addled pugilist, to become
more responsible and respectable, but with Banker’s mob ties and gambling profession, it seems more likely
Liston was being used while Banker was ‘making bank’.

That's interesting.....I don't know the odds of the 2nd fight, but Ali was 8/1 in the first, somebody made bank and it wasn't Liston.
