    Absolutely correct. I just did not want to entertain crouchstaceboxing/Serbian Loudmouth/Boxingismydream/boxingfan2002.

    Williams may've had 30 or so fights which on the surface seems like a lot, but he also had zero amateur career. The beginning of his pro career was essentially a substitute for his amateur career.

    "Williams took the Satterfield match on short notice replacing Charley Doc Williams after the latter pulled out of the match."

    "His fighter is in perfect physical condition but has had very little sparring. Cleveland has done pretty of road work since beating Jones two weeks ago but did not do any sparring until Sunday."

    "but Chris (promoter Dundee) was in a hole and I decided to take Satterfield. I'm as anxious to see this one as you are."

    "So we took the gamble. I know Satterfield is a helluva puncher and he's got a big edge in experience."

    Satterfield also praised Williams chin.

    "he's got plenty of heart and that's the big thing. I hit him some real hard punches in the second round and he just came back"

    "In the second round he stood up under two booming right hands from Satterfield." Source: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/53148333/the-miami-news

    I do want to say that I appreciate BF being here. He can't do anything but make us look smarter by comparison.

    Not a comment on your GF Swag but the above comments seem like a good cue for a musical interlude, ala The Young Ones.

    This came out when you were about minus 20 + years old.

    Listen up kiddies, this is real music, when men were men and the sheep were extremely nervous.

    No auto tune, backing tracks or need for scantily clad women to sell the song - well, I’m okay with the scantily clad women pitch actually...Girls On Film, late night X rated version, anyone?...oh yeah...good Ol Simon and The Boys....:lol::lol::lol:

    I have obsession with hypejobs and people trying to boost their record and hype to show their overhyped hero(Liston) fought someone good...but he didn't.

    Because he fought no one good at that time.

    Williams was knocked by Foster twice also.

    Because those two are only two good guys he faced, third time he faced Ali he was knocked again and beaten like a drum.
    Later Foster and Alvin beat the shiet out of him.

    He was knocked by LHW with no chin, deal with that.

    Then why tf did Holyfield wither under Toney's punches when he had no problem withstanding Valuev's punches years later??

    You could make the same baseless claim about Bert Cooper after he dropped Holy, if you wanted.

    Lewis & Rahman both hit harder than Ruiz, & neither 1 could stop Holy either just before or after the Ruiz fights.

    The fighter that blasted out Wlad Klitschko in 2 rounds.

    He was clearly outfighting Rahman long before the headbutt occurred & had no problem taking his power.

    Valuev had no punch despite chin, size and average strenght.

    Maybe because he was washed from fighter?

    Klitchko was stopped few times early, until Manny Steward got him but he had weak chin unlike Vitaly.

    He couldn't KO him and would win by UD but without headbutts he wouldn't stop him.
