Either way it was a meaningless loss. He was barely a year into his career and he avenged it by ko a few months later.
Head to head liston beats Joe and ken. Probably both by ko. Ken didn't have the best chin and Joe would come in straight into sonny power.
Resume, Legacy wise Joe and Ken was never feared or seemed invincible like liston was.

Agree with you entirelt, he knocks out both IMO.

There's maybe like 3-4 heavyweights ever that I would pick to beat Liston and it's neither Frazier or Norton.

It's arguable, Frazier obviously has the best win between them in Ali but outside of that Liston's is better.

Originally posted by TheBoxingXpert View PostHow would you rank these fighters, from top to bottom? My point of view:
1: Norton
2: Frazier
3: Liston
How have you got Liston 3rd and Norton 1st? Did you accidentally swap them?
Anyway, I think Liston and Frazier could arguably be interchangeable, but I think I'd go for...
Frazier
Liston
Norton

Ali
Quarry twice
Ellis twice
Mathis
Bonavena twice
Chuvalo
Machen
Even Joe Bugner was ranked 4-5 if I remember correctly and add in Bob Foster too, though at heavyweight.
Liston's best imo are:
Patterson twice
Machen
Williams twice
Folley
