He makes no bones about his ability to win and boldly pre dicts that he knock out Alejandro In five rounds. . . He said that if an old man like Archie Moore can beat Alejandro in 10 rounds, a man of his age ought to be able to do it In half the time.

He said he hopes Paterson wins, how ever. because he feels that if Liston wins there will be return boa’s here and there and that it will be thre or four years before he gets his big chance, and he wants 'o be the youngest heavyweight champi on in history.
