    I provided what Ali said, I provided other fighters quotes and you still can not take it.

    Good champion, not great, his record is not as good as Marciano, Holmes, Foreman, Ali, Holyfield, Lewis, Louis.

    That Ali said that he met a man who blinded him.

    Risking your life does not make you brave but stupid.
    Brave man is the one who meets resistance but he does not quit and even win.

    Sonny cleaned out the heavyweight division before he fought for the title.His record is at least as good
    as all the other guys apart from Ali and Lewis.Sonny was a great champion.The same view held by
    Muhammad Ali.Just thought I'd mention that.

    He cleaned the weakest division, it was very weak time with a lot undersized heavyweaights.
    His great is not as good because he never beat world class fighters like Ali and the rest did.

    Undersized heavyweights ? Have a look at Marciano's resume.

    Anyone can risk his life, I could drive 120mph where the limit is 60, but being brave and fighting until you die is what makes a champ.
    I have never seen Lewis, Foreman, Louis, Marciano, Frazier...etc quit.
    Sonny is the only HW champion that quits in the history.

    Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore are the greatest LHWs, Louis and Walcott were top 10 HWs of all time.
    Rocky beats them all, they were all bigger, more seasoned and experienced.

    Sonny's best wins are Patterson and Williams, can't be compared with these Marciano fought.

    Marciano wasn't bigger than those men unlike Liston too and still beats them all.
