    Yeah, I overlooked how much bigger Francis was relative to Sonny, partly because Liston was a "big" heavyweight in his time. So yeah, maybe he'd have a puncher's chance after all - though I don't recall Liston ever in danger of one-punched in his prime.

    Ngannou picks him up slams him down and then beats on him the ground till he gets a TKO and introduces the masses to the wonderful sport of MMA 30 years early

    At HW? Not many unless he learns to wrestle he might have a shot then because HW division in UFC rn is awful but if they use low kicks then it would be hard......

    Nah I meant in general, I don’t see any boxer beating any UFC fighter above welterweight unless they are absolute garbage.
