    Sonny Liston vs Bob Foster prime for prime!
    Sonny would win but how?
    And how would Sonny react to Foster left hook?
    Would Sonny wobble or he would just react with a smile like Frazier?

    A very short and violent ko loss for Foster. One
    he may not recover from.

    Liston could probably snap him in half with a jab lol

    One weird, sadistic fantasy fight. How about Amir Khan vs Gerald McClellan?

    Obviously there will be no doubt about the outcome of this fight, except for maybe inmemoryofjakelamotta will probably have Foster winning by KO in 1. I have Liston by KO in 1. Frazier demolished Foster in 2, and he was a slow starter; imagine what a fast starter like Liston would do to him. This puts a whole new face on Foster's disasters in the heavyweight division. I think they would probably spend the first minute or two of round 1 jabbing, and Foster would inevitably get stunned, and go down. It's hard to say if he would get up since Foster was difficult to keep down, yet Liston is the hardest puncher he ever faced. It would certainly be no Foster-Ali where Liston decks Foster over and over again but can't keep him on the mat. Liston would probably floor him twice like Frazier en route to a KO in 1.

    Sonny Liston would think that Bob Foster is a joke. He broke fingers in the alleys of tougher guys that could not pay the underworld loan sharks back. Sonny walks down Bob, takes his hard left hook, then laughs. He destroys Foster like he did to Floyd Patterson in 1962 and 1963, Liston by KO 2.

    Liston would end Bob's career

    Next match up should be Marvin Hagler vs Lennox Lewis.

    In round 1, with a jab followed by a right cross and a left hook.

    Is this what this once great forum has come to?

    I try to understand the mindset of people who create threads like this one.
    My conclusion is they do it for the attention.
