    Who'd you see Sonny taking out early (whilst they were actually the reigning linear champ)?

    Almost everybody who came before Joe Louis. After that - Leon Spinks, Michael Spinks, Shannon Briggs and Hasim Rahman

    I’d also add Carnera, Patterson, Ingo, Marciano, and Wlad quite possibly.

    Prime Liston would brutally take out:

    Tyson.
    Ali.
    Frazier.

    He gets brutally taken out by:

    Primo.
    Galento.
    Ruiz.
