    This might be a trifle jaundiced, but I don't know what one can tell off this video. Wiley was not even a trial horse. He was a Freddy Flopper brought in to pad Williams' record, and he did.

    Williams looks good, but . . .

    hot damn
    Cleveland Williams sure could punch. he would be a great great contender if he had better defense and a much better chin.
    I loved his fight/s against Sonny Liston :)

    Exactly.Back then Boxing was easy and great to follow.Little controversy,and you knew who the champ was.None of the WBO oriental version of the championship of the world stuff. Thirty different weight classes.No wonder boxing today is getting it's tail kicked by all this martial arts,ultimate fighting stuff.Cleveland Williams would be a contender in any era.

    Back when Williams- a beanpole by today's standards- was a giant.

    Yeah, old timers, I'm on your lawn.

    To be fair, Willie Getup threw a few half-decent rabbit punches here on "Big Cat" before he folded like a cheap suit.

    They should have had a few more lined up for Cleve though.
