Vitali Klitschko vs Sonny Liston

vitali wins.taller,stronger and i would even say more agile than liston.with his height he would neutralize listons reach.

 

Vitali wears him down and stops him by the middle rounds, Vitali holds too much of a size advantage for Liston to be able to bully him about the ring like he did with most of his opponents and Liston doesn't have the movement to provide the clumsy Vitali with much of a problem connecting.

 

Liston out jabs him and counters Vitali, he won't get away with that low guard leaning back style against the powerful, accurate jab like Liston's. Sonny would either win a decision or late stoppage.

 

V.K. by mid-rds KO / TKO.......... Liston eats the sink and bar of soap..........

Liston would win this so easily it would be funny. Liston by KO inside 6. :deal

 

Never has any heavyweight been acorded as much credibility as Vitally Klitschko in head to head matchups for doing so little.

 

What VK lacks in quality wins, he makes up for with the extreme dominant fashion in which he wins - and in a sense, during his losses. Ironically, to a degree, the same can be said about Liston, although he obviously has better names on his resume.

 

and your name screams objectivity in this matter.

Though, I agree somewhat with Janitor. This is a tough, tough match-up either way.

 

Is there a single fighter that Liston beat you would pick to beat Vitali?

Vitali has won his share of battles vs. ring ranked opponents, and has never been close to out boxed or stopped from punches in KO/TKO loss.

One day Vitali's critics might give him some credit for his defense, foot work, and stamina in the ring.

Not sure who wins here. Liston was a monster of a man, but he was also a bully type who seemed to lack intangibles when things did not go his way. I don't think Liston rolls over Vitali here. Its going to be a tough fight. Maybe Vitali's height, and defense would be the difference. Or perhpas Liston power could swing things his way.

I'd pay $24.95 just to see the stare down between these two.

 

Vitali Klit get dicked hard by the modern day ******* / assholes'..................

V.K. is ****ING GREAT! He is the man at heavyweight............. Nobody from any era just walks through this dude........ NOBODY!!! V.K. is so scary, I'm currently writing a new "Frankenstein" script built especially just for him........... WORD!!

MR.BILL:deal

 

Liston takin a mid-round-dive after eating loads of jabs and some overhand-rights.

 

I really don't see Liston as having the type of mobility nor style that would be particularly problematic for Klitschko. He had the power to hurt Vitali no doubt, but he's going to have land a lot more often than just a few decent shots here and there for it to become an issue. Frankly, with Klit's height and boxing ability, not to mention power to make Sonny respect him, I don't think Liston is just going to outgun him at his leisure.

Tough one to call, but I'm leaning towards Dr. Ironfist.

 

Not really, it should scream reality, specially the first part. I wouldnt put Quitali in top20 H2H let alone give him a chance to beat Liston. Let's look at his best accomplishments; He couldnt beat a fat, unprepared, unmotivated, worst LL ever at the end of LL's carrer. Hell he couldnt last longer with him then old, shot Tyson. He quit againts a feather fisted opponent beacuse his shoulder hurt (near the end of the fight), when great champions of the past fought on with broken arms. And his most recent accomplishment has been going 10 rounds with a fat, unskilled bum in Arreola, who Liston would dispose of in a single round. Aside from Quitali's size and rather below average skill set, what does he have? The world has gotten full of incredibly delusional people. :-(
His brother WALDO ´´dont hit me with more then one punch at a time or I **** my pants and you have to smell it then`` or in other words MrPanicAttack has more power and skill, but his glass jaw and mental toughness in the size of a peanut would mean he is H2H even worse.
And if you need proof that the HW devision is at an all time low, just look at the top10 and then look at the fighters who are in that top10. :-(

 

So vits pulls out of a fight, because of a injury that had he gone on he may well have finished his whole career right there, and yet liston who took the worst fake dive in the history of the sport seems to me to be always brushed over quickly, can one imagine if it had been a east euro who had done that ?, ****ing hell all you would hear would be "****ing cheating *******s" and the like, seems because he was an american fighter he dont get nearly enough stick for it, when for me it has always put me of the man no matter how good or what ever he did in his career, mafia or not, he dived like ive never seen before or since
