who did liston beat to be so highly regarded as good??

[SuzieQ49]

His record was impresive.
Does anyone think any of todays heavyweights could walk through Patterson in 1 round?

patterson would beat any heavyweight today

[butterfly1964]

well then of course not. but still they make it seem like hes top 10 greatest ever

uhhmmm, because he is. seriously, if tyson is a top ten hw, then to be fair liston has to be. he did the same thing, if not more than tyson did.

he wasn't beating up on past their prime hw's, and he wasn't beating up on lhw's either.

you are underestimating liston too much. i mean i would rather be beat by muhammad ali, then buster douglass.

who did tyson beat that was past there prime?


berbick and williams were better and more experienced fighters when they fought tyson than when they fought holmes



michael spinx a light-H? he was 212lb for the tyson fight, hardly a light-H. and michael spinx light-H or not was still the best heavyweight in the world outside of tyson, and he was the first man to beat holmes(old or not).

when i said past their prime, i meant larry holmes. and spinks is a natural lhw. that means he basically has a lhw punch and a lhw chin. he wasn't a true hw.

[SuzieQ49]

just because he fought at 175lb doesnt mean he had a light-H punch and chin.


bob satterfield was basically a light-H, yet he had a heavyweights punch. in fact, he was one of the best all time heavyweight punchers.



just because ur 175lb doesnt mean u cant take a heavyweights punch or knockout heavies. it depends on if your power and chin carries with you up to heavy.


in michael spinx case, his power did not. however his chin did.
