Glen Johnson

[Thread Stealer]

Rodrigo Valdez- bad timing of being alongside Carlos Monzon

Michael Nunn- his own fault.

[Trainer Monkey]

Glen Johnson

Your having a good day today Rock,because thats another good one,Johnson allways seemed like,well now he's going to shine.
And then it would go south on him

Emmanual Augustus.

Rafa Marquez, if not for Izzy, he may have had a shot at p4p #1 contention.

Sonny Liston
Meldrick Taylor
Jimmy Young
Riddick Bowe

Sonny Liston
Meldrick Taylor
Jimmy Young
Riddick Bowe

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.

Carlos Maussa

What's the joke?
