As this article from the Miami Daily News describes, Williams had been out of the gym since knocking out Sylvester Jones and didn't resume...
From, for instance, this clipping from the Daily Nonpareil, June 22, 1954, trailing the Bob Satterfield-Doc Williams fight at Miami Beach that...
It was 2 days. The change was so last minute that even on the day of the fight the papers were still announcing that it was going to be Bob...
Williams wasn't fighting every couple of weeks, he was fighting around every couple of months. Irrespective of your "hunch" on the subject, he...
It's a decent win for an old man but Terry Daniels never belonged in the ring with Frazier. He mysteriously bobbed up into the WBA #10 spot...
Of course it was important. Win, and Williams had a title shot. Lose, and the chance was gone. Your views on whether or not it was a good win...
Actually, unless you count his doomed world title shot at Muhammad Ali, his most important bout was probably the second Daniels fight. Daniels...
The idea that Machen did better against Liston with "one hand" obviously bumps up against the fact that he had two hands when he faced Williams...
I had to look that up too. Apparently she was a lot better at golf than picking fight results.
Just to throw a couple more in: Their common opponents King Levinsky and Primo Carnera both picked Louis. A United Press poll had 26 of 37...
Interesting choice of example. Louis was 22, not 20, and in any case what are you trying to say? That Williams was no better than Joe Louis?...
I notice you haven't tried to defend your claim that he got knocked out every time he faced a name opponent. Just in case there's anyone who...
Straightforwardly untrue. He was never stopped or floored by anyone but Liston when he was anywhere close to his prime.
As did Archie Moore and pretty much any other great fighter you could think of. What a bizarre thing to say.
In fairness, at the start of 1963 Ali was already #2 contender and comfortably in line for the next shot once Liston disposed of #1 contender...
