Sonny Liston vs Lennox Lewis

Lewis could fight cautious, but Liston may outjab him. Lewis might be better off blitzing Sonny. Lewis was too big and powerful.

 

I think it's a tough fight for both men, but when I remember Bruno out jabbing Lewis, and Ray Mercer giving Lennox real problems, I have to give the edge to Liston.

 

Im a big fan of the bear but he'd get hammered against lewis, i dont agree that liston has the edge in power.
If lewis got pumping his jab in which he didnt do enough in his prime, hed even win that battle
liston has the better chin and thats it.
Lewis in 7 or sooner.

 

cool bro, my bad.

 

Liston's punching power isn't on a different level than Lewis at all. Watch the Grant fight, the Vitali fight, the Ruddock fight, the Rahman fight, and then tell me Liston's power is on another level than Lewis without coming across as a total hater. But Liston did have the more powerful jab, (faster, is debatable) but power punching, no.

 

Of course he did.

 

Do you think it's just me saying that? If you do re-read the thread. Watch his fights. Of course Lewis is up there with the Tyson's, Foreman's and Liston's of the sport. He's certainly on that list. Seriously do you even watch the guy fight? He drops 220+ men with single punches. Look at the punch he nailed Rahman with, it maybe the single best punch thrown in ages.

 

Whatever.

At the end of the day, Lewis knocked out Bruno, Golota, and Tyson himself, so deal with it.
