    Forman destroys liston inside 5 rounds.liston was a little more skilled but stylistically he would be in great trouble because he was not a mover .this poll was made 100 times. make a poll about who hits harder and who was stronger...

    Only if Frazier could roll back the years to his actual prime when he cleaned out the entire division. Then Yes. Frazier could do much better.

    Maybe Sadler would not want Foreman to fight that version of Frazier tho.

    I will go more far... I pick green 71 forman over 71 frazier... After all in 1973 who did foreman beat similar to frazier until this point? It would be the same...forman would stop him brutally.ir was not a thing of plan ir speed.. Frazier could not with forman physically and stylistically he would need overpower forman to be effective against him.simply Joe coul not.frazier said that he did not think that he would have been capable EVER to overcome the foreman hammers

    Liston was a little more skilled? Stylistically Liston would have the advantage. Also, I said make a poll. Or are you not going to because you know Liston would win?
