Would Sonny Liston rule the HW division now?

Yes.

 

Of course

 

Probably, but he would have to adjust to the size difference; all of his beaten opponents would be cruiserweights today except for Williams, who was basically a Corrie Sanders, but without the big Klitschko win.

 

he would have a hard time with Vitali,and an excellent chance against china chin Wlad

 

No

 

i don't think so. his offense was his defense. he would basically overpower the smaller guys and like tyson would normally have a mental edge over the majority of them. he wouldn't be easy to beat, he certainly might have a chance over wlad in the early rounds to knock him out, but i think both klits might have the mental edge over him, but i'd slightly favor both klits to beat him over 12 rounds

 

No... apples and oranges.

 

...and why not Doc...???

 

You've never seen Liston fight (outside of maybe his fights with Ali)

That is all.

And yes.

 

Shouldn't this be in the classic ?

Sonny Liston would beat everyone accept the Klit Bros

 

:good
The superheavy Klit brothers are a far cry from patterson who was a blown up LHW and Williams who was making a rahman type living fighting fringe fighters.

Liston had slow hands, I see either Klit beating him. Certainly id favor him over Valuev, but I think chagaev would be a tough fight for either guy. Liston beats all the rest.

 

Liston probably would beat everyone today, with the possible exception of Vitali. I don't Vlad has the durability to hang in there with Liston, and he'd probably fall to Sonny much in the same way that Cleveland Williams did (check out their bouts on youtube.com). The durable Vitali, however, might have an outside shot at beating Liston.

 

I agree, those two would pose problems. Wlad would give him fits for a while, but he'd get KO'd eventually.
