    One was an all time great puncher and the other wasn't, that's how you decide who goes on these lists and who emphatically doesn't.Let me know when you see Peter on one! Don't take too long, I'm 69 now!:duh

    No Liston stops him, he's better at everything.

    Charles "Sonny" Liston would annihilate any boxer who doesn't
    possess the very basics of world class professional boxing.
    Like slipping and countering, and riding punches.
    Imagine a man like Peter continuously taking clean
    head shots without any ability to parry, slip, ride, or block
    punches effectively.
    Yes, Peter wouldn't last long.

    Liston beats him by KO after suffering few scary knockdowns.
