Who in the last ten years was stronger than Liston?

there hasn't been a HoF puncher like liston in ten years at least though, probably more than ten.

 

Prime Liston is but a mere modern day cruiserweight.

 

example rahman was a power liffter he could match the strength of foreman,of course he was stronger than liston,roided wladimir. But naturally sonny was a ver strong guy

Nobody. He might've been the strongest hw champ of all time with the possible exception of Foreman.

 

Based on what? How do you know whether Liston is stronger than someone like Wlad, Rahman, Amir Mansour, Seth Mitchell, etc.?

 

Natural size, and he had bigger biceps than all of them all, despite owning a longer reach as well.

 

Waldo for starters.

 

Why would "natural size" indicate strength any more than pounds of solid muscle developed through weight training? Anyway, these guys have plenty of natural size. And biceps are a small muscle--very limited indicator of overall strength.

 

Would Liston even be a heavyweight if he fought in this era

 

Always loved the story when Liston picked up that St. Louis cop and threw him headfirst into a trash can...then left the scene of the brawl. Really p.o.ed the St. Louis Police Dept.....and word was sent to Liston he had better permanently leave town.

 

Nobody in the last ten years has looked quite as strong as Liston did hitting on (often intimidated) men 20lb lighter than he was 50 years ago.

 

and, on its own, bicep muscles have absolutely no baring on the improved delivery or impacted weight of effective punches at world level.
