    Lewis is too big, too fast and too good, he wont be intimidated by liston and will knock him spark out

    Liston never felt a right hand like Lewis. Lewis would win ko 1-3 whenever he lands the right clean.

    Lewis and by KO. Liston was good back in his day..but Floyd Patterson was a glass chin waiting to shatter. Cleveland Williams was another glass chin. Many of these old time fighters are very overrated. Lewis wouldnt struggle nearly as much as many think here.

    If guys like McCall or Rahman could shatter Lewis's shaky chin, Sonny Liston would obliterate it.

    You said Patterson and Williams were just glass chins waiting to be shatter.

    So im guessing that means Lewis glass chin will also get shattered as well....

    Rahman was punching guys 250lbs

    Liston was punching midgets 200lbs

    the BIGGEST guy liston fought weighed in at a mostorous 228lbs

    the biggest guy rahman fought weighed 266lbs, and like 90% of his opponents were over 228lbs

    Throw rahman in with the skinny midgets liston fought and he'd probably have 100% ko's
     
  11. Lewis by TKO ,
    Liston too easy to hit ,
    and Liston always was vulnerable to 1 right hand, it is the fact , and sad truth , bc i love liston ,
    but it wud be the end , lewis wud stop him w/ little to no resistence

    wtf hahaha liston too easy to hit.
    sonny was definitely defensively better.he had nice upperbody movement,and could block punches.

    so what.liston at 210 lbs had a lot better chin than 250 lbs lewis and wlad.
    also earni shavers at 205 lbs punched a lot harder than a 250 lbs vitali.
    liston has a better chin than lewis no doubt,and their power is similar

    Yup. If palookas like McCall and Rahman could take Lewis out early, an ATG like Liston would have no problem.
