    The main difference between this and the Foreman fight is that Liston could jab, move laterally, and go 12 if needed.

    my money on liston, not because of some nostalgic **** but because he was way more skilled, and that 25 pounds would not make difference. Sonny fought way fasters hw

    Dubois won’t get the openings he found from AJ tonight against prime Liston

    Over 30lbs difference in weight (muscle) 3 inches of height and PEDs mixed in… that’s a lot bigger then Listons size advantage over Patterson. Heavyweights have gotten really big ay? This is a David vs Goliath type fight good one in my opinion. Marciano vs Ali is about the same isn’t it in the size?

    Dubois weighed 233 against Hergovic, and now he’s bulked up, but mostly it seems his stomach has gotten bigger. Liston was 215 in his prime

    Dubois weighed 248lbs (is that the weight?) for AJ and had his best performance that’s what the scales say… Liston weighed 213lbs in his best performance, figuring out your best weight is part of the game. Dubios went up in weight (More juice maybe?) and overpowered AJ I watched the fight, Dubois wasn’t fatter if that’s what you’re implying LOL DDD was in great shape and took the fight very seriously.
