    Yeah right...Jim is not right but your friend Swag is?
    Isnt that the same man who called Williams green just because someone else beat him other than his hero Liston, and that was the man who was the LHW with no chin?

    Just because he praise Liston opponents and does not like when someone beat them other than his hero, he then called Williams too green or too washed even tho he was not green with more than 35 fights and he was not that washed since Lyle who also had as bad injury as Williams was not even boxing or hitting his prime?

    He just can not stand the fact that someone beats his hero opponent easier or as easy as his hero.

    Kneel on one knee and bow your head before Charles "Sonny" Liston and beg for forgiveness, and do it IMMEDIATELY!

    I've mentioned this in previous threads but it bears repeating--check out what Ray Arcel and Emanuel Steward had to say about Sonny Liston. (Their testimony alone is good enough for me regarding how good he was!!)

    He wasn't overrated, what happened was he had already peaked by the time he won the title, that combined with the fact that after he became champion, he faced one of the 3 greatest HW's in history back to back then was sent into obscurity, it may seem like he was overrated. He definitely was not. His resume up thru the title win shows he clearly was that "uncrowned guy" before he was crowned.

    SL’s question wasn’t put to you.

    You want to interject, then answer the question, NAME ONE.

    You can NEVER answer ANY question put to you - instead, you just post drivel.

    So, IF Williams allegedly fought “nobodies” (as you claim) then he could well have been considered to be still relatively “green” even with 30 odd fights under his belt.

    Well done you.

    Logic and consistency aren’t your strong suits, are they?

    Except, of course, for the FACT that you are consistently wrong. :lol::lol::lol:

    According to your stupid logic Tyson was green for Douglas.

    Williams was no green but fought nobodies.

    Someone butthurt because I hurt your feeling by saying negative things about your hero and his overhypes opponent Williams?

    So one whole year?

    Patterson was by far best opponent he beat with that ease, so realistically he was at his best when he had those performances, which were his best.

    If they didn't come uncomfortably close to his losses to Ali, this wouldn't be a debate.
