    Liston.....the baddest heavyweight around from 1958 til 1963.
    (and the heavy another heavy leverages his own claim to ATGreatness
    off of)

    It is my understanding that he is in both global boxing halls of fame...:blood It is also my understanding that if you're referring to Ali, he could cross out any three HOFers on his resume and still be an ATG. But, okay.

    He leverages his claim to being an ATG off of Liston? :huh Mmmkay. Anyway, so, yeah, Liston is in the same halls of fame as the other hall of fame fighters, like Patterson. IBHOF and WBHOF. You have the Google, don't you? http://www.google.com It would've told you this, my brother.

    It is always important to look at the underpinnings of any "legend"....good job in doing the research.

    Scratch Patterson off the List, scratch Liston off the List, scratch Brian London off the List, scratch Cooper off, scratch Willams off, scratch Terrell off,.....uh-oh..the sixties are looking pretty shaky.

    Entering this thread feels like going to a party where you weren't invited.
