    B douglas fought out of character on this night. Attribute it to his mothers death, most likely. He could have beat a lot of people that, his temperment would not have allowed to him ordinarily. A la getting dismantled by Holyfield after.


    It would be the same if John Ruiz one night just fought ferociously nonstop power and tenacity all night. Not his character

    He was phenomenal this night. But There's no way in hell this Douglas would've beaten Liston.

    24 year old "green" Liston had his jaw broken and got out-pointed by a 180lb journeyman, but you reckon at 23 he'd beat a huge talented 6'4" 230lb boxer puncher? Right.

    Because Marshall made him laugh, then broke his jaw. :patsch Douglas would NOT have tried anything like that.

    Oh yeah Sonny only lost because Marshall told him a joke. And you say Tyson fans make excuses!

    We'll Liston can be hurt by B douglas actually. It seems you are contradicting yourself, in degrading Liston via Marshall yet also propping him up.

    No man is invincible in the ring. Marciano, Mayweather, they can be hurt and beaten . These arguments get silly.

    Anyway heres another account

    "He was hollerin’ and going on and I knocked him down,” Liston recalled. “He got up and I was laughing. He caught me with my mouth open and broke my jaw."

    Well he did clean out boxing's most valued division, beating everyone they put in front of him in devastating fashion capturing the boxing and nonboxing collective imagine raising boxing's profile to a level it had not been in decades.
    So maybe . . . .

    Sangaria is a very childish and immature poster. See for yourself: She always goes on my threads for the sole purpose of verbally attacking me. She doesn't even engage in my threads at all. If she put half the effort she does talking trash, into making useful posts, she'd be one of our best contributors.
