            Seems rather odd to have Patterson ahead of Liston. We sure don't have to wonder what would have happened if they had fought each other.

              I see your point.
              You seem to have a deep knowledge of boxing history ( I find your posts in the history section most interesting), thus I'll be glad to debate over my list.

              As for Patterson ahead of Liston, I gave Patterson credit for being the youngest undisputed HW champion, because of his longer reign, and of course due to a personal preference.

              Ps: My list is not H2H

                    Em, he was alright I guess, infact he's a pro boxer / was, might still be and I actually started to follow him and support him.

                    But it soon became apparent he was bit needy, and in a few threads I didnt agree with some things, he didnt seem to respect other people's opinions and turned into a bit of a cyber bully if you didnt, tried to also turn others against you, apart from that he was alright.

                      Thanks for your comments. It was just that I didn't remember ever seeing Floyd ahead of Sonny on any other P4P list. While I liked Floyd as a fighter and as a person, to me his title reigns were lacking in substance. I wouldn't put him ahead of Tyson or Lewis either.
