How strong was Sonny Liston?

I don't even know what a 'sook' is but if it's good then I'm it.

So it seems that farm work and the like worked for Dempsey, Foreman, Fitzsimmons and Shavers among others but not you so, in my opinion and with all due respect, the debate is still open.

I know absolutely nothing about you and neither know nor care how strong you are so the reference to you being 'unusually weak' was a joke in response to you saying all that farm work hadn't improved your strength.

No need to be so defensive. When you describe others' views as being 'sh1t', you've got to expect a bit of incoming back. Just shrug it off and say 'Fair cop' instead of sending us all your d1ck measurements.

 

Don’t get be so serious with yourself and why are you quoting Ali? Why does it bother you so much that doing endless manual labour won’t make you that strong? It’s not like boxing is a powerlifting contest.

 

I'm not being serious with myself. I keep making jokes.

And I'm quoting Ali as this is a boxing forum and he's a boxer. I thought that was quite apt, really. Happy to quote Shakespeare or Socrates or Descartes next time but not sure they had so much to say on the subject.

And it really doesn't bother me that you think 'doing endless manual labour won’t make you that strong'. It's your opinion which is at odds with the likes of Foreman, Dempsey, Shavers and others. They did the hard work, they credited it with improving their boxing (not their powerlifting) and given their place in the sport I'm going with their thoughts on this ahead of yours on this one.

I'm honestly not as bothered as you think I am and I don't think I'm as bothered as you. It wasn't me that posted about how much I can bench press. But if I post something which I believe is sound and someone comes back and describes it as 'sh1t', I'll argue my case.

 

You seem insecure.

 

I don't know what insecure means but if it's good then I'm it.

 

Cute.

 

Sonny was strong as an ox.

And nearly as smart.

 

That's a great post. There's nothing like a great foundation.
