Is Sonny Liston A Top 10 ATG Heavyweight?

[SBleeder]

Name 5 fighters who could beat PRIME Sonny Liston?

Ali, Louis, and Holmes are probably the only ones.

Ali, Louis, and Holmes are probably the only ones.

Maybe Foreman but I'd still favor Liston. Johnson was good enough defensively that I'd probably favor him over Liston.....that's about it though.

i dont like you being gentle.. i like a bit of rough, you could not embarrass me if you tried.

The IBHOF rated Thomas Hearns as the greatest 154lb fighter ever

The IBHOF rated Roy Jones Jr. as the greatest 168lb fighter ever

Neither Hearns nor Jones did enough in those divisions to be rated that high. Plain and simple. IBHOF doesn't do real ratings.
