    Cus damado says that if Patterson fought Ali the night he best archie moorer he would’ve beaten ali, being Pattersons trainer can we assume Cus knew his fighters condition well enough to assume that? Im being very bias because this would massively upscale Liston, so whats your take?

    Didn't Cus also say nobody beats Ali? Before someone says Cus saw Ali get beat let's give Cus the credit that he was obviously referring to the best iteration of Ali.

    Let's see, now help me here. Didn't Cus, find, train, and manage Patterson up until the Liston fights? If so, might that have influenced his opinion? Even to the point of rendering it of no value? Did Cus forget that Floyd weighed all of 178 pounds when he defeated Moore?

    Thank you. I referred to Boxrec and mistakenly used his weight listed for the Tommy Jackson elimination fight.

    People say things over the year. Ali did hold Patterson in a very high regard though.
