MIAMI BEACH. Fla. (AP)- Heavyweight champion Sonny Liston. an ominous 7-1 favorite, is expected to button the lip of Cassius Clay tonight at Conva- tion Hall in a heavyweight title fight that could be a shocking $5.000.000 mismatch.

Is Clay a hoax? Or a new golden boy? The true story of this 22-year-old former Olympic champion will be told when he has to put up or shut up against the man he calls “that big ugly bear."

The gabby poet from Louis-

ville, unbeaten in 19 pro fights. has been popping off so long that his spiel sounds like a re- corded message from an answer- ing service. “I'm the king. I'm the king. I'm the greatest. Ain't I beauti- fu. I'm too pretty to be a fighter. I'm going to whup that ugly bear. If he whups me I'll crawl across the ring and kiss his feet. I'm predicting eight to prove I'm great."

That is the Clay party line, delivered with the gllbness of a carnival pibchman while he stares out int_o space.

ay.

"I noticed he used a long, left jab and kept his right hand cocked. So I figured out a cam- paign. I moved from side to side, and counter clockwise in- stead of the normal clockwise.

"He never hit me once with that murderous left hook of his. He just kept grazing my left ear."

CONSIDERS COMEBACK

Marshall. 33. now a receiving clerk in a Detroit paint factory, hasn't fought in four years but said he was contemplating a comeback to try to repeat his 1954 victory,

"I weigh 197 pounds, only about three pounds over my best fighting weight." he said. "\I'd like another shot at this fellow."

After losing to Marshall 1954. Liston avenged the set- ‘tback with a sixth-round tech-

nical knockout in 1965 at St. Louis and won on decision in 1956 at Pittsburgh to make it two-out-of-three.
