		But while warmly greeting fans during lunch at a local restaurant — he is still called "champ" in Louisville — Ellis appeared much like the quiet, talented fighter who emerged as heavyweight champion during Muhammad Ali's 31/2-year exile from boxing for refusing to be drafted.
		Ellis won the vacant title by beating Leotis Martin, Oscar Bonavena and Quarry in a nationally televised elimination tournament.
		With Ali's trainer, Angelo Dundee, in his corner, Ellis surprised everyone by beating Martin and then knocking the powerful Bonavena down twice, putting him against Quarry in the final for the title.

		07-12-2005, 02:14 AM When Liston lost to Leotis Martin who is the guy who really killed Sonny Banks and seriously injured other fighters, Liston was mainlining scag, coke and was a shell.

		Martin would hold his own, but win few rounds.
		Ezzard Charles was a master boxer with a stinging punch..I believe he would stop Leotis in the later rounds with Martin in no position to continue due to taking too much punishment and severe bruises and cuts..
		Martin on the other hand defeated Sonny Liston even if Sonny was over the hill, that is still a worthy acomplishment.
