Liston loses much of his advantages and Vitali has many of them....I see a 10th round stoppage by Vitali
No one is interested in the whole story though. You claimed that Liston hit harder than the young Foreman, even going as far as to quote the alleged opinions on the subject of the opponents both men fought as a source of " proof " All I have done is shown you that in his first career George stopped more men and in quicker time than Liston did in his total career. The 27 extra KO's Foreman scored after 1987 are just more proof, if any was needed, that Foreman stopped one hell of a lot more men than Liston ever did.
You're forgetting to mention, People fought a lot less in Liston's time. The fact is three people who fought all said Liston hit harder. In Wepner's case, "so much harder"
Lol it is very credible when a very very green and light foreman stopped him in 3 and liston did in 9 by cuts
Power isnt directly correlated to the quickness of a knockout. Liston also did what Foreman failed to do, in dropping Wepner.
