If Holmes were intimidated, would that ruin your perception of him as a fighter or person?
Not that it really makes much difference, but Liston was actually 6'0" even, not 6'1". And Foreman looks like an angry disco thug in that pic!
Holmes didn't look too confident against Tyson. You can debate whether or not he feared Tyson; I personally think he was fearful of Tyson. But a...
Morrison was a very good fighter, but he was also very limited. He's the kind of fighter who was liable to knock out just about anyone he stepped...
Wow! Take a deep breath and relax! Have it your way: Foreman was a monster!
Foreman was a big guy, but he wasn't some Godzilla-like giant that dwarfed every single heavyweight that's ever laced up the gloves. Foreman's...
Tua has never been 5'10" in his life. But having said that, I do think Tua would have beaten old George Foreman, but I'm not sure he would have...
It still amazes me that Toney was able to not only beat Holyfield, but stop him. Toney was basically a puffed-up middleweight with so-so...
Riddick Bowe was not considered a big puncher. I mean, he was a big, heavy man, but he was not a big hitter. And I don't see anything Foreman...
Good pick. Bronson always seemed hard and tough, even as an older man. Jim Brown, believe it or not, praised Bronson and said that he seemed like...
Since we are talking old-school tough guys here, and adding in a few Hollywood guys, I'll throw one William Smith into the mix. Smith would have...
Speaking of English guys, I'd love to have seen Liston fight Lenny McClean, the Guv'nor. Lenny was a genuine S.O.B!
Wow! I didn't know the Gracies were here in the U.S back then. But that would have been something to see.
Jim Brown would have no chance against Liston, unless Brown were armed. Brown would have to stick to smacking around his girlfriends and throwing...
The heavyweight boxing champion of the world is not the only bada** in existence, either today or back in Liston's day. I'm sure there were other...
