    Liston gets exposed much like he did against Clay...Sonny has never seen the like of a man that would stand there (on the inside) and go shot for shot with him like Holy would do for sure...Holyfield by late KO...10th or 11th round.

    I like Liston. Better jab, much better reach, stronger, more powerful, not that far behind technically.

    If Liston's a quitter, so is Ali, Duran, Langford, Tyson etc.

    No...Liston is a REAL quitter...The very second he realized he was in there with a guy he knew he couldnt beat...He showed his true colors and bitched out....When did Ali quit like that!?:huh

    i hope that he was not talking about ali vs holmes, maybe he was referring to the fight in manilla with frazier, anyway i tis absurd and ridiculous, ali and frazier were both in the limit in this fight and they fought a war, liston simply got frustrated and he did quit with a stupid excuse of his shoulder

    Ali didn't quit like that.

    Tyson is a REAL quitter. As soon as he realised he was in there with a guy he couldn't beat in Holyfield he fouled out, deliberately. ***** quit move, I don't pick him over any ATG.

    Duran, total ***** quitter. Quit like a ***** when he was being embarrassed by a guy who was totally out-boxing him. ***** doesn't beat anyone great unless they fight the wrong plan, Leonard proved that. He'd quit to a lot of top guys I bet.

    Maybe not as straight up ***** as Vitali Klitschko. It's true he had a simlar shoulder injury to the one Liston quit with against Ali, but his opponent was smaller instead of kinda bigger.

    Cotto actually got down on his knees rather than fight :lol: Straight up ***** quit move. Surprised he hasn't quit since, no heart.

    And on...and on...and on...

    And quitting in boxing doesn't make a quitter. Quitting in the boxing ring and being "a quitter" are two different things.

    I completely agree. The proverbial armchair athlete wouldn't understand.

    Liston gives Holyfield serious trouble.

    Pretty even fight, but I'd lean towards a close decision win for Liston.

    No way Heavy!..If he is talkin about the fight in Manilla then he needs to go back and do his homework..And your right it was a ridiculous excuse to quit..
