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

[The_One77]

Sonny is overrated, weak competition whose records were padded full of bums.

i love the old timers who think people like Dempsey and Jim Jeffries could beat people like Lewis and Tyson
They crack me up

Yeah, it's like Butterfly calling me a moron because I don't kiss Liston's ass like the history books do. I like to do my own thinking, Liston quit in the Clay fight and pretended he got knocked out by a phantom punch, he was a mob champion and will get no respect for quitting in the ring to a young Cassius Clay, so kiss my ass Butterfly, you want a be Liston ass kisser...

[The Noose]

in what era in years wise did liston demolish every1 to become undisputed champ

I dont understand that loaded question?

Who did Marciano fight? He fought three good fighters far beyond their prime, although walcott put up a real good performance. Would Marciano be so highly regarded if he had one loss on his resume? But when the competiton is crap, you should be able to see past this and look at the fighters capability... Rocky was still a great and so was Liston. Liston beat machen, williams etc good fighters whom are underrated and most know little about them. Liston had good very good boxing skills, was powerful, and smart in the ring... he cleaned up an entire division before loosing to clay and he is rightfully considered a great.

Rocky's Competition wasn't as crappy as everyone says

sry for the retarted spelling only way i could get the letters in

but as for the topic i think liston was strong and had some good fights but if it wasn't for ali i think his name wouldn't be as regarded but then again if he hadn't fought ali he may have beat a different big name and had fame who knows
