    Machen never used his right hand against Liston. It was injured so he fought Sonny with one hand.

    Rocky would've been an easy fight for Liston. No man standing in front of Liston could've remained standing. Liston KO in three.

    I believe the same thing tbh but don't let anyone on this forum see this. I think he'd meet a similar fate against the Ruddock, Brunos, etc.

    I don't think Marciano's "pit bull", just attack, hit anywhere, even forearms style of fighting would be successful against Liston.

    Williams fans would agree with you. He was either too injured or too young to ever lose a fight.

    Rocky and Williams could have fought. Williams even fought on a Marciano card in an attempt to build up interest. Maybe you should check out what happened?

    Charles was stopped 7 times, by;
    Walcott
    Marciano
    Young JackJohnson
    George Logan
    Lloyd Marshall
    John Holman
    Donnie Fleeman.

    Smith was stopped 9 times by;
    Costello Cruz
    Aaron Wade
    Charles
    Satterfield
    Moore x2
    Leonard Morrow
    Paul Andrews
    John Holman

    Harold Johnson was stopped5 times by'
    Mederos
    Jacobs
    Smith
    Moore
    Walcott

    I've already shown Bivins was never stopped by Davis.
    Not only were none of these men ever stopped by Davis ,none of them ever fought him.
    Now there are two possibilities as to why you are making these silly claims.
    1.You are drunk.
    2.You are trolling.

    As usual you haven't answered my question,in your usual dishonest manner you concentrated on Valdes losses to ranked fighters Here is an example of your spin.
    "in almost 20 losing fights" Valdes lost 18 fights.
    Three in Cuba when he was 17,19, and 20.
    His other losses were to;
    Moore x2
    Machen x2
    Baker x2
    Alonzo Johnson
    Liston
    Satterfield
    Miteff
    Folley
    McBride
    Harold Johnson
    Gilliam


    I specifically asked you for his ko losses to journeymen.
    1.You named ranked world class men.
    2.You began waffling about his decision losses.
    Valdes was stopped by;
    Machen
    Powell
    Liston
    And twice in Cuba when he was 17 and 20 years old.
    Why would you give a like to MDWC's ridiculous claim that Wrestler Sterling Davis ko'd. Johnson
    Bivins
    Smith
    Charles
    ? ?????
    How asinine is that?
    Have you any idea how frustrating and unrewarding it is to engage with you?

    That's just something you've made up. No one thought the unknown Williams fighting on a Marciano undercard in 1953 was going to "build up interest" in a meeting between them.

    What was the purpose of it then? Somebody took Williams 1,200 miles from where cleaver usually fought to create some kind of interest. At the carefully matched 30-0-1 point of Williams career I doubt he went up there to get beat.

    So let me get this straight.......

    Williams was matched against a guy 7-3-0 in a FOUR round fight to garner interest in a Marciano - Williams world title fight?

    You are off your head.

    P.S. 30-0-1

    The fight was only shortened to four rounds at the last moment. Williams had been matched in 10 round bouts 13 times so far.

    P.S mr 30-0-1 versus 7-3, who’s matched to win that fight?

    You are a good poster who seems to have derailed for whatever reason.I've no problem relegating you to the ranks of U Loudmouth and Jackoma, and you obviously have no problem being viewed as such.
    WTF it's your choice.lol WGAF?

    Now of course you are going to provide us with proof that Williams was deliberately put on that bill to showcase him for a future fight with Marciano?
    I look forward to it!
