    Are you saying Willie would get salamied around the ring?

    Or just pepperonied into submission with the big ugly bear's jab?

    Pastrami would get sandwiched between the ropes and Liston's right hand.

    That would have been right after the Machen win, which is a fair rating.

    Where as with the NBA Machen stays as high as#3 even losing his last fight. This seems rather generous. Clearly holding the LH title excludes Johnson from the NBA HW ratings.
