    Those fighters were not available to fight in Listons era so obviously he can't fight them

    They were but there is always some excuse for Liston not fighting best opponents of his era.

    Gotta scratch dat itch!!!!!

    He's a few sandwiches short and has never been any different despite the wigs and disguises and name changes. Once you see a few posts there's no hiding the lunatic behind them.

    I remember getting surprised at some of the Patterson slander he's claimed, considering his pfp.

    All very true. The best guys he fought could’ve been Cruiserweights in the 80s - 90s. Cleveland Williams was the only ranked fighter he beat who would be a modern day cruiser alongside Sonny.

    I’m not sure about slander he’s got some hard marks against him as a H2H fighter, P4P doesn’t matter all that much there. Patty good as he is should be matched with cruisers and light heavies guys who were actually the same size as him for these kind of discussions.

    Liston didn’t stop DeJohn??....and that’s part of the “evidence” upon which you deemed the case “closed”.

    Look out F Lee Bailey, you have some serious competition. This dude is a gun when it comes to arguing his point. Hang the small details.

    NRN

    :lol: I’m like you Swag. I just lost my discipline in that regard. I did write NRN at the end of my post - AS IF that will work. Lol.

    Lol. Unattended, that itch can develop into a serious rash.

    I guess it would be too transparent if he simply called himself “NotaListonFan 2002” - though that fact becomes immediately apparent the very second he starts posting on anything re Sonny.

    I didn't say he did not stopped him, I said that he couldn't stop all of them inside 6 and they were c level fighters, saying that Holmes would last 6 round agaainst Liston is dumb and insane.

    You took it out of context on purpose because you're butthurt when your hero liston is not the winner.
