If Patterson had faced Zora Folley in 1959?

No, at the time, and this was a very long time ago, there was a lot of stuff being repeated that didn’t add up going unchallenged. Myths. And they were silly. An aura. I suggested that there had been a “Tyson chic” that Liston had benefited from among young fans and he had begun to re-emerge as something close to a number two ATG with a pass for almost everything that didn’t quite add up. he only lost if he was throwing a fight, he was older than he was, Rocky ducked him, he should have been a champion decades earlier, Cleveland Williams was championship material, all kinds of mysteries. And it was much stronger then than now. I never announced I was a hater or that I wanted to “tear down” anything. I was against the myths. As everyone is. That was all.

 

Cleveland Williams was a championship level contender. A very dangerous top contender

If Williams was taken in mcneeley place, Patterson may never have seen Liston

 

I’m sorry but I don’t share that opinion. Not if by championship level you mean Williams was an uncrowned champion. A champion who never got to be one.

Prime Williams fought Billy Daniels. on film Cleveland just looks like what he was, a fair contender. Daniels was average and he hit Williams at will.

 

It is always interesting when you are reading a Google Newspaper Search sports article from Po-Dunk USA, and there is some Big Fight Report containing a tid-bit of boxing info you have been searching for 50 years, and you think: "Well, Dubbya Tee Eph".

 

well Susan was wrong.
