    So now you're saying that modern fighters only cheats at weights ? Only a moment ago you said that
    modern fighters were only businessmen not real fighters.Make up your mind !

    Ali's opinion of Liston's greatness is easy enough to find on the net.

    Overrated???
    Sonny Liston is rather underrated.
    This is the first time I've heard that Liston is overrated.

    He was considered invincible in the early 60s
    After his loss of the title and his second defeat against Ali, he was relatively unnoticed even during his lifetime.
    For a few years he only fought and trained in Europe and was not invited to the WBA tournament
    even though he was still a high-ranking challenger.


    After his death in 1970, Liston was completely forgotten in the boxing world until at least the
    early 2000s and has experienced significant hype in recent years.

    It's very simple.Just go to Google search and type something like ''Ali's opinion of Sonny Liston''
    and you'ii find it.This information is so widespread that it is sooooooo easy to find.
