Anthony Joshua vs Sonny Liston

Yes I would 100% pick Povetkin and old Klitschko over them

 

Liston was in theory the better fighter but I can’t see him taking too many shots from Joshua. This was the man who’s jaw was broken by Marty marshal and stopped twice by an umpteen fight Cassius Clay

 

Based on what?

 

Liston was 10x the fighter Andy Ruiz is I will leave it at that

 

Liston by KO. Easy/

 

I don't buy Joshua at all. If you let him be comfortable and dictate the pace, he can land some heavy artillery. But you enforce your pace or distance or speed, he seems quite fragile.

Liston KO9

 

It’s hard to say. I’d take Joshua over the Liston from the Ali fights though.

 

You can just tell they’re better fighters, also the fact that they’ve become top dogs in a division where big men are much more skilled.

 

Liston takes Joshua apart

 

Liston gives him a terrible beating befor knocking him out

 

Liston by mid to late round KO.

 

...why?

 

Bell rings, round one. Joshua cautiously comes in keeping his guard high. Liston comes in quick. Joshua throws a big looping jab to find his range. Sonny fires a powerful straight jab catching the bigger man on the chin. Joshua goes down. Ref counts to 10 all over in 15 seconds or there abouts.

 

Agree w this

 

Me too. Joshua could rock Liston, but Sonny was just too mean and good for him to get past 7 rounds.
