Sonny banks died after his fight with leotis Martin... leotis Martin also knocked out old Sonny Liston......Jeff Merritt was also a talented fighter who broke Ernie shavers jaw in sparring.they say eddie machen(who went the distance with a prime Liston,also has a win over jerry quarry) could of been a champion if he fought in a different era....so Clark beat some good fighters.clark also went the distance with Ernie shavers in thier first fight
