In The Absence Of Muhammad Ali..?

Chuvalo would be the type Liston would feast on for breakfast. A relatively slow, come forward puncher with his chin as his chief defense.

 

I don’t think the public would want to see a third Liston vs Patterson fight and frankly I don’t think Floyd would either. Not sure if Liston would rack up as many title wins as Ali did in the 60s because he simply wasn’t defending that actively. He’d easily beat guys like Mildenburger and London. Not sure if we’d see rematches with Williams and Folley or not. Chuvalo and Terrell would have made tough opponents in 66-77 as Sonny was aging

 

If you can substantiate that, I’m listening. It’s not really a major factor regardless though - he’s too old & disinterested to beat a prime Frazier in 1968-69.

Too many one night atgs to bring about Sonny's Waterloo.

 

Funny post but the Waterloo reference hurts a little. Too God damn soon!

 

It's never too late....

 

If I had to have a stab at it Ernie Terrell.
