Anthony Joshua vs Sonny Liston

Close fight, Liston`s 84 inch jab might be the difference.

 

Close fight until Liston drops AJ hard. Not a mismatch but sonny's to much for our Anthony.

 

AJ gassed out

 

Sonny would absolutely kill that big, dumb, fragile, pretty boy oaf.

 

Liston mid round KO.

 

Liston knocks him out in a way Ruiz could only dream of.

 

Liston by KO.

 

It would be a good fight.
Joshua would land some good bombs and have his moments but Liston would dismantle him with superior boxing and punching.
And it would only last 3 rounds or less.

 

I’d go with Joshua here, Liston preyed on smaller guys his whole career, his best win is a chinny LHW. He’s never been hit by skilled guys who are 240lbs of pure power punching muscle. Why would anyone go with Liston?

 

Because Joshua's best wins are a two forty year old men and a fat flash in the pan who's name we only know because he beat Joshua all over the gaff.

 

Well those two men weren’t chinny light heavyweights. I’d pick both those two over Paterson any day

 

I wouldn't. And I certainly wouldn't pick them over prime Williams or Machen.

 

I definitely would, they’ve both lost two guys who weren’t as skilled as Joshua’s opponents

 

You'd pick an ancient Klitschko and an old Povetkin over a prime Machen and a prime Williams? Based on what? Williams only ever lost in his prime to Liston twice, and a razor thin fight vs Terrell, a man who he also stopped. Machen blew hot and cold, but the only two men who ever outdid him in the skills department is Harold Johnson and Liston himself.
