I think Sonny Liston is a great.

With better timing and management he could've been greater, but as it is, his achievements are pretty solid, short reign or not. He beat a lot of contenders from 1958-1962.

Yeah - I think Liston was a great fighter too.

How about these who just miss out:

Floyd Patterson
Jersey Joe Walcott
Pinklon Thomas
Cleveland Williams

I rate Liston as very good fighter but i feel he did slightly fall short of greatness but thats debatable depends which way you look at it. Skill wise he is great he had excellent jab and a great pressuring style, but record wise i feel he did fall just short of greatness.
