Where do you rank Sonny Liston as a boxer?

Got it. I'm sure you saw the documentary on him. It spoke about Sonny having a yoke placed on him and he had to plow like he was a mule. So, I understand your point.

 

Liston around the same level as Whyte ? Shavers ? Chisora ? Briggs ? you can't be serious.....surely you're trolling right ?

Have you ever watched Liston fight ? or know anything about his resume ? Either you're not very knowledgeable on Liston or this is a troll post.

 

Liston died when he was 40.

 

He must be very high... he died 54 years ago and we are still talking about him

 

To answer your question resume wise i would have Liston just outside the top 10 but H2H wise i would have him in the top 10.

I think Liston matches up well with most Heavyweights past and present i'd make him even money with fighters like Larry Holmes.

 

From what i can see, he was born 1930 and died 1970.

 

He was a power puncher but not much of a boxer so far as skills are concerned. No way can he be remotely considered in the top twenty for his boxing skills.

 

Where do I rank him? In the classics section.
