Bseple who understand the me chanics o t pugilism and prize fight promotion don't fault a fellow for "popping oft” as Mr. Clay puts it, if It will help to popularize him and advenes his cause financially. But the nature and authenticity of such ballyhooing, and the extent to which it is taken, are serious con siderations. In short how far can a braggart go and how reckless can be get without hurting himself. Last week Clay, who earnestly b#ieyea he will win the heavy weight championship from Sonny Liston in their Miami Beach show down on Fd>. 25—even if his fellow Americans doubt this, some 4 to 1— admitted that his ceaseless bally hooing has technically turned a gainst him, to the benefit of Liston. He was quoted as saying: *T made Listen the favorite es the fans. He used to be the vltlien—a mean ex-convict mil people wanted to see him heal Then I came along and they got an earful of me and they began rooting for Liston to shat me up. I’ll fight him and the fans, too.” Mr. Clay is so right. He has cer tainly made Liston the sentimental favorite with boxing fans by the extremity to which he carried his bragging. Gaseous Cassius has gone to such ridiculous extremes in his talkfest, that fans either refuse to believe that he is that "great," or consider him an indiscriminate loudmouth and strutting egotist. Clay might want to know that the public, as fickle as it is, has a definite way of resenting people trying to “whip the game” on it It doesn’t mind being jived, or kid ded, but it certainly objects to be ing gassed to death in what might well be regarded, in his case, as a badly played con game. Lei me explain. The sports public, and boxing sane In par ticular, doesn’t mind a fellow bragging about Ms ability to whip someone. But when a fel low like Clay goes to such a ri aioulsuit extreme aa to virtual ly rny that he is conducting a a are anal publicity campaign for me benefit of a fat gate, then terns begin taking exception and are apt to turn against the box er er athlete far trying to not fight Cans will go to the Listen-Clay ahowdodm —with the hope es seeing Liston ram his giant fUt down Cassius' mouth — but a meat many of them won't be root- ! mg for the “Louisville Lip.’ | UNHEARD OF— UNBELIEVABLE ...
