Nearly every sportswriter in Miami Beach Convention Hall expected Clay to end the night on his back. He was not likely to give one to Cassius Clay. His eyes were unworried, and they were blank, the dead eyes of a man who’d never got a favor out of life and never given one out. After a few minutes, Sonny Liston, the heavyweight champion of the world, stepped through the ropes and onto the canvas, gingerly, like a man easing himself into a canoe. He began bouncing on the balls of his feet, shuffling joylessly at first, like a marathon dancer at ten to midnight, but then with more speed, more pleasure. The ring was crowded with has-beens and would-bes, liege men and pugs. But, for the first time in his life, and the last, he was afraid.
