    Shame to boxing fans.

    It's ok 'ears, this is a nice realistic comparison between two guys of the same era against the same opponents :)

    Noone's comparing esb liston with zeus, this is a normal acceptable comparison that you can take seriously :good

    In September, a new promoter, Bill Fugazy got involved, and tried to re-schedule
    the fight for December, in Canada.

    Sonny was running out of places to fight, as nearly every Boxing Commission in
    America had pulled his boxing license.

    They both could punch very hard.

    Ingo stopped Machen in 1 in 1958. Liston beat him (W12) in 1960.

    Ingo stopped Patterson in 3 in 1959. Liston stopped him in 1 in 1962 and in 1 in 1963. Patterson also stopped Ingo... in 5 in 1960 and in 6 in 1961.

    Ingo also stopped Henry Cooper among others. Liston also stopped Folley and Cleveland Williams x2 among others.

    They were similar in height, Liston had a longer reach and was about 10-15 Lbs. heavier.

    Liston has the better resume and knocked out more big name fighters.

    I'll give Liston the nod here but Ingo could crack.

    I do believe ingo had a better 1 punch knockout than liston.

    Perhaps than anyone.

    If Ingo is alowed one punch, then he is dangerous.

    it's a bold claim. it looks great and his timing is fantastic. but he didn't get the opportunity to prove it against enough great fighters. with all due respect, patterson's chin is at best questionable and destroying him doesn't propel you to the top of my list

    On the flip side of the coin:

    What other fighter ever did so much, with only one good punch?

    Frazier had one ATG punch and many, many good punches with it. :bart His punch diversity is the most astoundingly underrated attribute. Good day, sir. I say 'good day'! :pc

    Lets look for the Albert Westphal interview.

    Westphal was Ingemar Johansson's sparring partner in March of 1960

    He was Ingo's replacement, when Ingo pulled out of his scheduled December 1961
    match with Sonny Liston.
