    Laughable argument...what olympic medal has to do with his pro legacy?
    Doesn't have a whole lot outside of his wins over Ali, Bobbcik, and an old Quarry...but Patterson could not even do that because he lost twice by Ali and against Quarry too.

    How old was Foreman against Wepner and do you think that Liston at that age could hit harder?
    Ali said that Foreman is the strongest fighter he faced after the fight.
    Cobb went 15 rounds with Holmes and beat Shavers which Patterson could never do.

    Then why you mentioned them if I asked did Liston beat any good big man not some random guys and cab drivers.

    Liston was actually no more than 40 and at that age Foreman and Lennox were champions they did not lose against bums and LHWs like Martin.
    Shavers had no chin or stamina that is why he lost so often.

    Lie, another myth exposed by Martin trained who said that Martin had retina problems since Banks fight and had surgery.

    That means that Shavers had no chin but he knocked Young and Bugner who were as good as Machen.

    Still better than small Patterson and no chin Cleveland Williams.

    Bethea was the guy who lost against anyone and any decent puncher like Lyle or Baer would kill him.
    You forgot Mike Tyson knocking Spinks or Louis knocking out Schmelling and those guys were bigger and better than scared Patterson.
