    And he knocked them all out, 4 of them ATG's......

    What ATG's did Williams beat let alone knockout?

    Always laugh at the attrition fighter commenters. He knocked out his opponents in an average of 4 rounds. That’s good for top five all time I believe. If he’s not a power puncher then no one is.

    Larry Holmes said it, years ago, when he had his own forum on his website.

    Cleveland Williams and Rocky Marciano did have some common opponents, I think.

    Art Henri stopped by both : He went 9 rounds with Marciano, and went 8 rounds with Williams.
    Keene Simmons stopped by Marciano in 8 rounds, went the 10 round distance with Williams.

    I remember it well.
    And if you google it you will find others refering to it too.

    If you'd rather believe otherwise and insinuate I'm a liar, okay, crack on.
    see ya/

    Oh dear god you are now bringing up past weight divisions.

    If you want to go down that route silly man then your hero Liston was sparked unconscious by a Middleweight!!!!

    I don't have heroes, unlike you, if Marciano was alive today, he would have the cleanest arse in the world!

    I just can't believe the Big Ugly Bear was knocked spark out by a Middleweight, what's your thoughts on the matter?

    Why's that? It would end up on your chin from all the **** you are talking?

    Moore weighed in at 188lb so he was very much a HW, this is a fact!

    Walcott stated Marciano was a bigger puncher than Louis, he faced both twice. What does he know on the matter hey?
