    Liston weren't fighting any contenders then until his end because he was the Kiss of Death after being accused of QUITTING the Ali fights.

    When did you move to chunky?
    That is false, Leotis Martin was a ranked contender when Liston fought him.

    Liston was also ranked in the top ten in the later 1960's

        Love Marciano But

        Marciano was 184 1/2 pounds for the 2 biggest fights of his career: Joe Louis and Jersey Joe 1st time. Frazier 205 for 1st Ali. Please don't tell me but Marciano was super human. He was a very tough strong 185 pounder but Frazier was very tough strong 205 equally hard working in the gym. These are different eras competition took a step up for various reasons. Fraziers clearly got it over Marciano taking a punch or delivering one.

          - -Fair points, but I've always favored Rocky even as I see this as a 50-50 fight.

          All already been settled in Valhalla my friend, so mind your Ps&Qs and maybe some day...

              Let’s put it this way, Frazier would have KO’d Marciano, but Rocky would not have KO’d Frazier.
