2018br. Riuscito a scappare da una situazione terribile, con un padre che lo brutalizzava tra i campi di cotone dell'Arkansas, Sonny Liston fece in tempo a raggiungere sua madre a Saint Louis, a tredici anni, prima di finire nel penitenziario di Jefferson City. Capace di reagire al branco che voleva sottometterlo, fu notato dai cappellani della prigione che ne riconobbero l'immenso talento. Dopo aver sbaragliato il campo tra i dilettanti Liston portò a termine una delle più rapide e devastanti scalate al titolo mondiale dei pesi massimi, culminata nei due incontri fulminei con Floyd Patterson. Finito in mano alla mala che lo aveva tolto di galera e che controllava la boxe, fu costretto a eseguire gli ordini del boss Frankie Carbo fino alla fine dei suoi giorni, quando fu trovato senza vita a causa di un'iniezione di eroina pur avendo il terrore degli aghi. Considerato dai più grandi esperti ed interpreti della noble art, compresi George Foreman e Mike Tyson, il pugile più potente e spaventoso che sia mai salito sul ring, Liston deve gran parte della sua fama ai due incontri con Cassius Clay e Muhammad Ali. Sia il match mondiale di Miami, che la rivincita di Lewinston, sono avvolti dal "mistero", tanto che dopo cinquant'anni l'FBI ha deciso di riaprire il caso sul primo incontro, considerandolo truccato. Ed è proprio sulla prima sfida di Miami, nel 1964, che si raccoglie questo libro, dando per scontata la messinscena del secondo atto, quello del "pugno fantasma". Come ha potuto un campione del mondo in carica restare seduto sul suo sgabello dopo sei round, in una situazione di perfetta parità, per un improbabile dolore alla spalla? Non era forse dato favorito 7 contro 1 nei confronti di Clay? E la mafia dei Carbo, dei Palermo, dei Vitale, non spalmò forse decine di milioni di dollari puntando contro Liston?
