this ((Muhammad AID Cley-Bon
ny Liston title rematch in Boston
la, in the judgment of tala ob
server of th# Sport of Hard
Knocks, a prudent one under the>
prevailing circumstances.
By contrast, the action taken
by the World Basing Aaaeete-
Uan. which, ad beet, ta Juet a

fight, with suffletant and Juati-
The WBA says tt is penalising
Clay by arbitrarily lifting the title
he won In the ring, because he
failed to heed its warning not to
sign to cross gloves with Liston
in the rematch. It argues that Clay
and Liston had no right to sign
(according to WBA’s dictum) to
advance for their first title match
last March in Miami Beach.
Th* WBA evidently nls* still
wants to central Clay’s conduct out
side the ring, although tho boast
ful champion has broksm no law,
either fistic or civil. The WBA
ruling against rematches, to my
thinking, la neither binding nor
practcal. •
Aa far aa Seamy la eeneern
ed. the WBA seemingly still
hasn’t forgives him for his an
ttea and legal entanglements
outside tho ring, altheagk three
really had little to do with ac
tual ring fighting. Moreover,
the fact OmU Ltaan has gotten

committed the unpardonable sin of
agreeing to e rematch before the
last title fight In this respect the
l WBA Is not only unrealistic about
the whole business, but appears to
i want to dictate to both Clay end
i ether boning champions on tha
matter of title defenses.
This writer has always contend
ed that boxing champions rhould
fight their logical contenders, but
that some frank reasoning should
enter Into that consideration.
I feel that it is unfair to snatch
a fighter's title—or more correctly
to withdraw title recognition from
him—at the drop of a bucket, with
out giving him § chance to prove
khawSf 'an unworthy fighting
champ, unwilling to fight his logi
cal contenders. And Liston, it must
bp admitted, is a leading logical
contender for Clay’s title.
furthermore, the WBA appears
to U ignoring the prime factor in
e fighter’s claim to the title; that

tual combat he should be given !
the chance to lose it In the same
maimer, end not on e piece of
papor scribbled by WBA second
gueaaar or anyone ala* The associa
tion appears to bo putting greotor
emphasis on tho conclusions drawn
from the last fight that Sonny’s
loss to Clay was suspicious, and
other nebulous considerations.
V tha WBA wanted to b*
practical and predeni, It weald
have followed tho eeune of too
MBA. The MBA pel willed llis

guarantee that ha would meet
one of toe tear top heavy
weight contendere within six
men the after the oehedelad No
vember 16 beat The MBA she
ruled that neither Clay nor Lis
ton should have any financial
share to tha promotion, and
”- t there ha no saerat dssls of
ary kind.
This seams rational and fair, since
it guarantee* the other loading con
tenders early consideration, and
than will bo no round-robin
matches between the title contest
ants, such as thorn waged by such
fighter* like Tony Zal* and Rocky
Graaiano, In th* past. Th# MBA
said, to effect, that a title rematch
between a champion and th* man
he unseated may he permitted as
long as the other challengers era
not neglected.
This writer falls to see anything
really sinister about a title re
match. if there is a real demand
or justifiable reasons for it. These
may be classified mainly in two
categorise; publio demand tor th#
rematch, and a misfortune, such as
apparently occurred in Sonny'* east
which coot a champion his tills. A
rubber match, under any dreum
itiiKM, should be out of toe quae
tion.
A man who earns his title or
gains professional excellence the
hard way, should have a right to
safeguard it, even by contract. In
tha case of the pug. this is even
more so, since his career is shorter
and his future highly uncertain
end unpredictable
furthermore, whet good is the
WBA or any other ring body if It
can only bring about reform with
in the sport by penalising th* box
er by preventing him from earning
Ms bread at bis profession?
