Patterson claimed Ingo hit him the hardest and Ingo gave him more beating in their first fight than Liston in both fights.
By any standard or any parameters Liston performed better against Patterson than Johansson did.I genuinely can't believe you are using this line of argument.
How he performed better in their first fights with Patterson? Ingo gave him longer beating and knocked him cold much worse than Liston did.
Boxingfan: Ingo did better against Patterson because he gave him a longer beating than Liston did. Also boxingfan: Ingo did better against Machen because he stopped him in a single round whereas Liston needed to go the distance. You can't make this stuff up.
You really can't take someone doing better against common opponents than your hero? Yeah, Ingo did better against Patty and Machen just like Satterfield did better than your hero against Williams who was green with 35 pro fights according to you.
The falsehood of Liston quitting has been addressed many times. As for so-called '' revisionists '' backing Sonny in fantasy fights against Dempsey,Louis, and Marciano do you mean guys like Hank Kaplan,Emanual Steward,and Herbert Goldman ?
How could anyone do better against Patterson than Liston did? How did Satterfield do better against Williams? Liston knocked him out in the third and the second round in their two fights. Satterfield knocked him out in the third.
