How would you fight Sonny Liston

use my 5'9" height to slip his first jab, initiate a clinch, give him a double titty twister, and then run out of the ring.

That'll be pretty tough to do with boxing gloves on.

 

I still bet on Liston, even if you were allow to bring a sword. A gun would be 50 50 imo.

 

modern earmuffs maybe, but with those little leather garden gloves from liston's era? I could twist that nipple right off.

BTW that's not a sword. that's a ****ing claymore.

 

Its still a sword lol. I think Liston can take a few hits from it, before he knocks you out.

 

**** me, you gotta be a scot to make that distinction :tong

 

nah, just a weapons nerd. trust me, i'm the farthest thing from scot(check the last few pages of the picture thread sticky)

and dempsey, no you really can't. these things are ****ing huge and lop off limbs very easily

 

:good

as to the thread question: i'm 5'4 and 147 pounds. so my answer is i wouldn't

 

I'd try to pressure him. Work the body and stay in close. I don't know if it would work, though. If Floyd Patterson had the courage and power of Joe Frazier, he might have fought a better fight. Floyd was too afraid to let his hands go, but he made Sonny miss with a lot of jabs and hooks at first. He should have been countering.

 

But Liston would only get a few knicks before he closes the gap for the ko.

Liston was a hard man to take out.

 

I'd one punch KO him.

 

How do you think a claymore would do vs the a hoplite?

 

Against a single? Effective. Formation... No. But against a single hoplite... lots of targets under the aspis... no greaves are stopping a claymore swing, and dismantling the dory as a threat wouldn't be too difficult. The aspis itself is the biggest puzzle to solve, but with the threat of overwhelming force that the claymore provides against any single target... seems inevitable.
