    And for all his moves Walcott, he isn’t moving away completely out of range like Ali, listons gonna be able to connect far easier and them hooks to the body and head, even if he’s hitting arms and gloves they’ll do damage. Unless you’ve got legs with a prime Liston you are completely ****ed. Walcott the smaller man also. I honestly can’t see a smaller lighter man beating Sonny regardless of skills. He’s like foreman with skills. You ever see Liston v Williams fergy? Liston got caught with a ko punch, and it initiated an instant beat down for Williams, very very impressive. Liston didn’t blink but you could see the punch was absolutely perfect and deadly

    Forcing someone to reach isn't dependent on the length of your arms.

    I mean for an example watch Walcott counter Joe Louis's jab.

    True. Listons more aggressive though than Louis he’ll be on him roughing him up, Louis would box more give him room so to speak

    No JJW get by for a few rounds but not so sure his style is good to fight a guy like Liston

    Maybe boxrec needs to be adjusted, another first rd KO loss for Jersey Joe added to the ledger, back to back with the loss to Rocky.

    Lewiston Maine, Joe’s real last fight. At least an emphatics loss of credibility as a ref even before the first 3 minutes were out.

    While Sonny lolled on the deck, Joe might’ve thought “I feel your pain”.

    Max Baer yes, Sonny Liston no.

    Sonny Liston on his day is arguably the best sub 215 heavyweight h2h ever and imo spanks great fighters bigger than him also

    I think Liston is a huge danger for Louis also. I’d make him favourite
