    they weren't wars liston dominated them even though foreman was closer to his prime than liston. even if you can't take it that's the truth.

    I disagree on Joe Louis. I think his cutting off the ring, his own jab, speed, and cuz he was good at parrying jabs would mess up Liston. and he was real accurate

    He quite obviously struggled with speed. Holyfield, Haye or even prime Tyson would give him troubles but not sure if they'd beat him.

    louis vs liston

    chin- liston
    jab- liston
    power - arguably louis
    speed- louis

    liston beats him in a great fight- but he beats him everytime

    tyson without the fear factor is a small heavy with a solid chin and a good finisher

    he never finishes liston

    he loses the jab war (anyone with a jab gives tyson nightmares)

    yes, he slips a few jabs but he doesn't get aything free from that- he has to work for anything and its not like his left hook takes liston out

    he gets worked over and walked down

    liston doesn't lose to anyone who tries to stand toe to toe with him

    It doesn't exactly help your case (of tyson beating liston) that tyson admitted the only person he would be scared of is sonny liston. he said liston would beat him.

    I think that Louis is one of the guys that would beat Liston, because he is strong in most of the areas where Liston is strong. He could effectively out Liston Liston.

    Joe Louis said the same thing.
    He was asked how he would have fought Liston.
    He said 'with a gun'.
    In the same conversation, Louis said he would have beaten Ali by maneuvering him into a corner.

    tyson is a small heavy? Prime vs prime mike weighed 216-221 pounds of pure muscle in 5´10 of height... Liston weighed 208-212 in 6,0 1/2 of height, he was overweight and ponderous at 218 past his prime.

    name one fight liston weighed 208 in. weight doesn't mean anything, its all about frame. tyson when he faced berbick weighed more than the foreman who faced frazier. so is tyson phsyically stronger bigger than foreman. gtfoh ******.
