He took Cleveland Williams best shots in two fights.He took Mike DeJohn's left hook. Nino Valdes punches.
tyson did not hit harder than liston. stfu. johnny tocco who has been with tyson foreman and liston said liston hit harder than both of them. tyson's chin is overrated. it's not better than liston's. how many times has liston been knocked out? how many times has tyson been knocked out? liston's heart is underrated watch both his fights with cleveland williams and tell me he doesn't have heart. watch his first fight with marty marshall where he had his jaw broken and he didn't give up. liston had much better defense and tyson hated it when people jabbed and didn't react well to it.
SONNY LISTON DID NOT HAVE ANY HEART HE LEFT THE FIGHT AGAINST CLAY LIKE A ***** BECAUSE HE GOT FRUSTRATED, TYSON TOOK THE BEATING UNTIL THE FINAL VS LEWIS, TYSON HAD A MUCH GREATER HEART. TYSON NEVER GOT KNOCKED OUT COLD LIKE LISTON DID AGAINST A BUM LIKE LEOTIS MARTIN, TYSON ALWAYS TOOK A BEATING BEFORE HE GOT STOPPED AND YOU DID NEED TO BE A MUCH BETTER FIGHTER THAN MARTIN TO DO IT. CLEVELAND WILLIAMS IS AN OVERRATED GARBAGE WHO HAD NOTHING BUT A LEFT HOOK, HE WAS A CRAPPY AVERAGE FIGHTER ACTUALLY, WHO DID WILLIAMS BEAT ? NO ****ING BODY. AND SONNY LISTON NEVER WAS IN THE LEAGUE OF GEORGE FOREMAN IN THE HITTING POWER DEPARTMENT AND NEVER WILL BE . JOE LOUIS AND JACK DEMPSEY WHO WERE WATCHING THE FIGHT FOREMAN VS NORTON IN 1974, SAID THAT FOREMAN WAS THE MOST POWERFUL AND HARDEST PUNCHER THAT THEY SAW EVER... AND THEY SAW LISTON,BAER,MARCIANO AND THEMSELVES(LOUIS AND DEMPSEY INCLUDED). AND EVERY PERSON WITH EYES KNOW THAT FOREMAN WAS HARDER PUNCHER THAN LISTON WITH BOTH HANDS, IN A INTERVIEW TYSON SAID "ALI FACED KILLERS LIKE FOREMAN AND SHAVERS WHO DID HIT MUCH HARDER THAN I" HE NEVER MENTIONED LISTON:hi:
I read an interview somewhere by Ali once where he said 'Frazier was the toughest i fought, Foreman the hardest hitting and Liston was the scariest'
first off johnny tocco has has seen tyson foreman and shavers fight said liston hit it harder than both of them. williams hit harder than tyson. he left the clay fight because he was injured. liston went 6 rounds with a broken jaw and lasted the distance. tyson quit a fight that he was winning! Heart? I think not. that combo that martin landed on an old liston would've knocked out anybody. not even joe louis threw a better combo than that. tyson didn't last the distance against lewis ****ing ****** he stayed on his back when he could've easily gotten up. Heart? I think not.
jesus whant a bunch of crap.. when i said that tyson lasted the distance vs lewis? what i meant was that he took the beating until he got stopped, liston left the fight like a coward, great difference. please get out of this forum, you don´t know a crap about boxing
i guarantee you that frank bruno or ruddock did hit as hard if not harder than liston. liston never faced a guy who did hit as hard as tyson, no williams did not hit as hard as tyson, at least was not as good puncher, as accurate ,explosive or as fast. and much less the combination puncher that tyson was.
