    Is liston Verse Wladimir Klitschko another Sanders type ko?
    Or does Wlad hold the aces?
    Prime for prime.

    I think Klitschko might well pick him apart. While Liston has the junkyard dog reputation, Wlad has the size, power and technical ability to dismantle the smaller man. I also think that this thread is going to devolve into an argument about 84 inches.

    I'm gonna say Liston but it's by no means an easy fight. I can't just see liston winning easily, unless it's a Sanders type early ko.

    Your implying that Liston is as good as Brewster or Purrity?

    Those guys lifted weights. They did curls. All Sonny ever did was dead lift cops and heave them into trash cans. Worlds strongest hoodlum.

    Liston beat nobody near Wlads level. If Ali could ko Liston twice then Wlad could sleep him.

    Liston via spectacular KO

    Wlad isn't going to beat a massive puncher like Liston

    He will get knocked out by the jab

    No idea why people say stuff like this when these two are different

    Ali and Wlad are nothing alike my friend

    Alis movement is what bothered Liston ... Wlad doesn't move like that

    I lean towards liston but can't totally rule out Wlad. But out of all the oppenent he faced, I don't think he faced anyone as hard hitting as liston. Could be wrong? It's a toughie.

    Who had the bigger fist? Just curious. A sparring partner of Liston said that they had to make custom gloves for him. Said he had hands the size of hams. Also that he routinely knocked the stuffing out of the headgear during sparring.
