Liston Vs Foreman.

Foreman knocks him out inside 5 rounds, the foreman WHO fought lyle was not the same animal that FACED norton, not mentally, he was much less aggrresive,, BY the way, lyle was 220 pounds OF puré muscle and 6'3. Liston was 208( average WEIGHT in his prime) and he was 6'0 1/2. If liston trades with foreman aggrresive like he did with Williams he would
get destroyed, and he was too ponderous and slow on is feet TO outbox foreman. ,ali and young WERE much faster and still they had TO trade because foreman did cut the ring pretty well, aNd if he was not gassed. He had iron chin early, i cant see liston stopping him early and i cant see liston surviving the early brawl with George

 

A reasonably possible scenario, though som points betray a bias.

Again you two bickering about the weighT! I think Liston averaged more like 212, but fine. George would weigh from 217-232 or so during his first career. His body fat was lower than Liston's, & he was even stronger, though both hit tremendously hard.

The fight with Lyle was past his best. If he was prime, not laid off for 15 + months save for the Montreal fiasco-& a round he was smoking Lyle did not get cut short by accident (2 minutes), it would be over within 3 rounds.

Liston was impressive in the Williams fights.

You can add his reach advantage. Yet george did throw some straight punches, jabs & crosses, & the roundabout haymakers.

I see NO evidence that Foreman was ever easily intimidated!
He is a notoriously varying & unreliable reporter, combined with being gracious 9some say disengenuous) to a fault in his 2nd career. He JOKED aboutstaring a Frazier so he would not see his shaking knees. he would not have had more than some pre-fight nerves. Did he look or act at all intimindated? Ever?

I would not call his stamina good, it was better than often portrayed. I DO trust George when he said his nervous energy sapped his endurance, 7 the go for broke style of course too.

Foreman would not need to keep his distance, Liston would be advised to, but yes, he would need to somewhat defuse the jab, get his own working, & unload.

I do not know who would win.

 

Foreman Early blowout.

 

Regardless of who was the greater fighter, or the better fighter, Liston pretty much has every stylistic argument going for him here.

If I was Foremans manager, this is one fight that I would avoid like the clap.

 

Good matchup that is hard to pick a winner, I feel it would come down to the will to win and I'd go with Foreman in that department.

 

How? He would come straight at George, I can't see that being a stylistic problem. If there is a collision in the ring I would usually go with the guy with more firepower, and that is George.

 

That is the biggest load of garbage I have read on here.

Ali did not trade with Foreman at all, he went to the ropes and let the big goon punch himself out. All the while taunting him with remarks like " That all you got George?" or " Come on sucker, they told me you could punch "

He occasionally picked Foreman off, then once he knew there was fvck all left on his punches, opened up and KO'd him.

Simple as that.

 

I've always felt that Foreman would have blasted Liston out within 6.

 

Oh, i see that the little kid got mad because i humiliated him BEFORE, dont cry baby, foreman destroys liston early, and janitor, you could not be more WRONG here, stytically it was all OF foreman in advantage, liston could not run, foreman was mentally and physically stronger, he hits harder with both hands, ( despite the opinion OF certain puppet) liston DURING HIS PRIME JUST WEIGHED 204- 212 POUNDS, AND PRE PRIME HE WEIGHED 201, FOREMAN COULD CARRY 230 IN HIS 20S PERFECTLY, LISTON WAS OVERWEIGHT AT 218 BUT THIS SIMPLETON USES THE WEIGHT OF LISTON VS ALI. And saying that it was a prime liston, ok if you use this ponderous pork versión then foreman would kill him easily), if the average. WEIGHT OF prime liston was 208, his average prime weight could
not be 212 because DURING HIS PRIME. He weighed more times 210 or less than the times that he weighed 212 or more
,if you put OF both Men average, lowest or heaviest weight in his 20s, foreman is around. 13- 17 pounds heavier 217 vs 204. 225 vs 212. 232 vs 215. AND NOT THE THE 4 POUNDS THAT CERTAIN SIMPLETON LIAR SAID BEFORE

 

And the most important thing, foreman won a fight after he got Dropped, he got up and won BY ko, liston never did, he was a coward quitter. And he got knocked out cold ( not because he was tired) BY a bum with average power like martín, you can makeso 100 excuses for this ko, still it is the reallity foreman destroys him

 

I did check that you repeat phrases OF another posters like a parrot, the 85% OF the threads are started BY you, one thing is sure, ypu are a sad loser with no life probably with mental and ***ual problems, poor guy
