    Jimmy was more sneaky than fast.

    wrong. that KD was completely legit. Never seen Foreman being forced to the ground like that before. That overhand right would've KO'd Liston just as badly as he was shocked against Martin and Ali.

    If he punched like a little *****, then why did he floor Foreman?
    That alone is PROOF that he can punch. there's no way that foreman would just go down because of the exhaustion and the humidity. the fact is that the punch connected and young floored foreman. and this video proves that the punch made such an impact that it vibrated the whole stadium, and made an amazing impact.

    I'm afraid you have the EDITED version.

    Young could hit like a mule for sure. People should see his performance agaisnt Wendall Bailey, a rock solid 200+ lb prospect whom Young disposed of inside 3 rounds. Liston could take it from Williams in the early rounds, but Young would take him to the late rounds and lower the boom like Leotis Martin did.

    Exactly.

    It's pure speed that bothers Liston more than skills or sneakiness.
