Frazier vs Liston 13 rds who takes it?

Similar to the Foreman-Frazier bouts. Even though we're obviously talking a prime 1969/71 Frazier here. Liston would stun Joe before he gets going,and ko him within three/four rounds.

Only if Joe somehow avoids too muchn heavy punishment early on,would he have a chance of taking Sonny into the late rounds and stop him.

 

A prime Joe Frazier beats the man...who as champion...gave up the title..by SITTING ON HIS STOOL!!!

 

That, and the fact that Frazier was a quicker puncher and had quicker/better inside technique, and the fact that Liston was not in his class as a fighter.

 

Frazier's chin(or lack of) fails him against another puncher.

 

And Liston used to spar and push around the same guy who used Frazier for a ping pong ball.

 

So Liston was a better sparring partner than Frazier?

Yes, maybe he was.

 

my2sense is a brutal hater.
liston who is as powerful as foreman,and better technician would blast frazier,no doubt.

 

I dont see anything funny about Liston Sparring Foreman?

I do see Foreman-Frazier as quiet funny, seeing Frazier flying all over the place. Including running from Foreman, only to get punched round the back of the head.

And Liston was the better technician than Foreman.

Frazier, gets his a$$ handed to him :good

 

Foreman threw Frazier around like a rag doll.

Foreman said no one pushed him around except Liston

1+1= Frazier KTFO

 

foreman's jab kept frazier at bay, and george's wild amateurish powerful punches were blasting poor joe away!
look at liston, who is a much more educated fighter. he picked his shots and often landed accurately. that shotgun jab of his would no doubt push frazier back, and then sonny would fire off the right hands and left hooks, en route to either a TKO or knockout win.

liston TKO5 frazier.

 

:good
Tell that to My2Sense

 

On the contrary, my criticisms of Liston have been the mildest that anyone has made in this thread.

No he wasn't. Foreman was powerful enough to still KO the world HW champ at age 40-something, while Liston wasn't even powerful enough to stop Leotis Martin (who had already been stopped by Jimmy Ellis) at a much younger age.

Actually there's plenty of doubt, seeing as he never proved he could even beat (much less "blast") an ATG HW, and twice folded to the only fighter who went on to be ATG.

Sure there is, it's a SPARRING session. It has nothing to with an actual fight, which is what the thread is asking.

Your logic is like saying Oliver McCall, Mike Williams, and Greg Page would all beat Tyson in a real fight because they all had him down in sparring.

Which would give Frazier the opportunity to get inside, which Foreman's "wild amateurish" attack didn't allow him, and work Liston over on the inside.

 

Liston takes it and Frazier would not see the later rounds. Horrible style match up for Frazier.

 

Peak Liston...the real Liston, was not that guy that quit on his stool. Liston could have very well have nailed Frazier and put him away in the first round..as great a fighter as Frazier was, Liston was capable of that..the 1959-'62 Liston that is.
