    I admit it’s by no means a done deal because Sonny at his best is a real proposition for ANY great fighter, but I based Walcott and Ezzards chances on their record against Elmer Ray who albeit a lesser man was by all accounts a similar fighter to Sonny. I consider anyone good enough to pip a prime Ray is in with a good chance against Sonny. I also considered the kind of baffling Sonny had with lesser men like Whitehurst, Machen and Marshal as evidence that clever fighters like Charles and Walcott might improve on these results with Liston. These guys were certainly no bigger than Ez and Wallcot either. Charles and Walcott did flatten big men. They hit hard. Certainly food for thought.

    Well I’d take any of the following confidentially.
    Evander
    Riddick
    Tyson
    Smokin Joe
    Walcott
    Ali
    Holmes
    Lewis
    Moore
    Charles
    Chris Byrd (you heard me)
    Probably some I’m forgetting but you get the idea. I don’t rate him super high.

    me ether I said on the page before I dont get why he is rated high it's easy to see he would be destroyed or just outboxed by these guys you named and others
    son was slow and easy to hit it's no reason to act like he would do good vs these dudes or others like fury George ron cause he wouldnt

    they do the same with louis act like he would beat people in 70s when it's easy to see he wouldnt he would be destroyed and fast

    Personally, I have no problem with you writing as indecipherably as you like. They're your posts. Feel free to write however you want.

    But just in case you find it helpful to know this, I agree with the others that the way you post is hard to read. Sometimes, I might skip over it rather than try to figure out what it says, if I'm in a hurry. I also suspect I'm misunderstanding them occasionally even when I read them closely.

    And you might be fine with that. There's no rule that says you need to design your posts for anybody else. However, if you want the entire forum to read and understand what you're saying (which I assume you do, since otherwise why post?) it might help to use paragraphs, etc. But like I said, your choice.

    Prime vs Prime.
    Probable : Ali I believe he simply had the style and size to beat him at any point in his career ,also
    he could get into his head, the only other fighter who could do that is Fury. Holmes
    could match his jab output, had the ability to keep him off balance with his feet.
    Possible : Fighters that have the size/skills to beat him, but more than likely loses for various
    reasons. Louis, Frazier, Foreman, Lewis , Tyson, both Klitchkoes , Fury, Charles,Walcott
    Holyfield , Bowe, j.Young.
    Not likely at all. Marciano, Dempsey, Johnson, Ruiz, Witherspoon, Smith, Weaver, Spinks
    Douglas, Tunney.

    Of course, you reply to a SEVEN YEAR COMMENT to ridicule Williams. You really need help. Your obsession is reaching worrying levels.

    why do I need to use paragraphs when I separate that should be enough it's like people took a step back here on comprehension

    cause i have talked to many on other sites and YouTube and this is not a problem
    people shouldnt have to talk to you people a certain way that was told was the so called right way for you to understand when nothing I say is hard to understand

    It's people here who will not separate any words and it's all jumbled up like flash and people get it which is the way I would talk in regular life

    so for me to have to talk a so called right way is bull like I said it's a step back of comprehension here

    then brainwashed people will try to insult me cause of how I chose to talk here im not hurt by something thats a choice as if it's a lack of no option but to talk how I do

    I never ask anybody to talk how I so called want them to cause it is no such thing as a right or wrong way thats a lie that was told in school

    I could talk with paragraphs in the wrong spot or in the right spot or use question Marks or periods in the right or wrong spot or use big words or big letters only none of it is wrong or right its opinion people need to open up the mind instead of being so brainwashed

    that bothers me brainwashed followers here not the dumb or weird insults

    Liston was most vulnerable to slick fast boxers.
    Ali indeed has the edge due to his speed.
    But Louis, no way. He ain't got the footspeed to trouble Liston.

    Like I said, you're under no moral obligation to make your posts more readable. You don't have to do anything. And I'm certainly not trying to insult you. Nobody on this forum is the Grand High King Of Paragraph Rules.

    Others will find it easier to understand your posts if you do. For whatever reason, people around here are more finicky than the other forums you've gone on to. It's totally your choice whether you care if those people can read your posts, though.

    No, but he has similar power and faster hands.
