Oh well,it look's like the anti-Liston rabble are at it again. Some fairly obvious points to make : Why would so many doctors,public officials etc be so adamant Sonny's injury was genuine ? What could they possibly gain by telling lies ? To call any professional boxer a ' quitter ' is absurd.To call any professional boxer who achieved the level of success gained by Liston is plain stupid. For some reason the Liston haters refuse to acknowledge the raw courage a very inexperienced Liston showed in only his eighth fight by fighting several rounds with a broken jaw. Sonny Liston is rated as one of the greatest heavyweight-champions in history by some of boxing's greatest experts and historians.When a man achieves the level of success in boxing that Liston gained he is no quitter.
How could he? Well Ingo beat Patterson worse than Liston with longer beating. Satterfield knocked Williams with one right hand despite being a LHW and a smaller man unlike Liston who was real HW. I know it hurts you, swag and the rest of fanboys but Satterfield knocked Williams easier plus he was smaller man means he did better than Liston.
Ingo knocked Machen in the first round, Listom went distance. Ingo also knocked Patterson first, Liston wasn't the first one who cracked his chin. I know it hurts you, but he did better than your hero.
Your hero quits twice, cheated...he has no heart and could not be called brave unlike Marciano, Frazier, Ali, Holyfield etc...deal with that. Which HW champ quit on his stool? None...tnx.
Longer and worse beating sustained. How? Both finished Williams in 3th rounds while Satterfield was able to KO him cold and was a LHW unlike Liston. Pound for pound and in actual fight Satterfield did better.
Why is it better to take a longer time to beat a fighter? You would say then that Eddie Booker and Don Cockell did better against Harry Mathews because it took them a longer time to finish him than it did Marciano? Ali did better against Frazier than Foreman did? Something don't seem right.... You haven't shown how being lighter while knocking out an opponent makes you better than a heavier guy doing it. We're talking heavyweights, there's no weight limit, there is no pound for pound with the big boys, it's just h2h.
Ali didn't beat Frazier unlike Foreman. Ingo beat the crap of Patterson and was the first man to do that. Also Ingo knocked Patterson cold with one punch, something Liston couldn't do. For me, comparing Ingo and Liston would be like comparing Shavers and Foreman, Listo and Foreman are superior in everything except punching power. KOing opponents cold with one punch is better than just beating them. Satterfield knocked Williams cold with one punch something not even Liston could do. It is pound for pound, Satterfield is 30 lbs lighter man than Liston, his win is better just because that but it is even better because Satterfield KOed him cold with one punch.
Ali holds a TKO win over Frazier, a prolonged 14 round beating. How? isn't a prolonged beating was better than a quick ko? Isn't a prolonged beating better than a one punch ko? So a lighter heavyweight is better than a heavier one because....?
Yeah but Frazier also beat him in their first fight. Well Liston beating Patterson is more prolonged, because he needed many punches to keep Patterson down while Ingo KOed him with one punch. Well not really, since this waw prolonged beatin wtih one punch KO at the end. Because he knocked the same man easier while being smaller.
Anyone whos seeing this, sorry. Even ill admit theres too much Liston lately. Im done posting threads about him for a while. I love the sport and am sorry if the spotlights taken a weird turn.
That's irrelevant. Floyd beat Johansen twice. So, Liston beating Patterson with a prolonged beating is better than Johansen doing it with one punch. Satterfield beat Williams with one punch while at the same time giving him a prolonged beating. Ok. But you said it was a prolonged beating, how was it easier? What does being smaller have to do with it?
Yeah but in first fight Ingo knocked Patterson with one shot KO which Liston could not. Yeah, I would rate higher that one shot punch. How prolonged because Liston and Satterfield both stopped Williams in 3rd round. It has because being 30 pounds lighter than Liston against Williams who was real modern sized HW.
