    Yeah but if you are just that and not more than that you are then just contender caliber.

    Buddy… you become a champion by beating the champion(he won that crown) and defending it by beating challengers. He did his job perfectly…

    I’m one of the biggest Patterson fans here and I agree with this post.

    But who he beat that was champion except Archie Moore?

    He did not beat Liston, Foreman, Frazier or Ali he could not even beat Quarry.

    Sonny was 23 years old when they fought the first time.

    He was 30 by the time of the rematch 10 months later.

    When he fought Ali seven months after that, he was 46.

    By the time of the second Ali fight a full 15 months after their first meeting, Sonny was 68 1/2.

    Recent evident by Paul Gallender suggests he was actually 126 years old.

    Beating "a lot of good contenders" makes one better than a journeyman by far.

    Yeah but not a champion...Norton at least did better against Ali but no one is praising him because he was not Liston victim.

    I can’t believe you guys don’t have him on Ignore. Watching you all react to seemingly nothing is like seeing you all battle the invisible man…a really, really stupid invisible man.

    You ever watch those videos of an animal doing something really stupid? Its kinda cruel to entertain but theres something disgustingly entertaining about it.

    Anyone who disagrees with you is a Liston ride or die fan who would give their first born as tribute to him, huh?

    And anyone who disagrees with you or swag should be banned, kicked, tracked maybe even blocked by the google...according to you.
