Leotis Martin KO 9 Sonny Liston

You initially started being amusing, now you are a boring Foreman blow job boy.
Leotis Martin would have been competitive with old Foreman.
You are obsessed with The Grillman, and , need to get a life.

 

What Leotis Martin learned when he sparred with Sonny Liston in Feb/March/April 1967
in Sweden.

When Sonny jabs, you jab right back. Because his left arm was slow in pulling back and he dropped his right hand to chest level.

If you can take him into the 'deep waters' Round 7-8-9, he slows down immensely.
His muscle-bound arms get heavy, and his guard drops.

Leotis Martin was a good right hand puncher. Though not great, he could level
anyone if he landed it.

 

i did read 2 or 3 of your posts and really i don´t read even your other posts, your Knowledge is Lower than the basic level, but "i need get a life"

 

You quickly resort to insults when anyone does not agree with you ,[which is usually 99% of the forum],is it possible, it is in you the fault lies?

Cooney had been retired for 3 years after being kod by Spinks in 5 rds.
Cooper had been kod by 14 fight Nate Miller, 4 months earlier
Qawi was 50 lbs over his best weight ,and was nearly a foot shorter than Foreman, he had been kod in 4rds in his last fight by Holyfield.
Moorer, who was allways chinny ,won nearly every round against Foreman before running into a big shot.
You are the court jester of the classic forum.
Do me a favour don't read my posts, an endorsement from you would be the kiss of death.

 

a great % in the forum disagree with my way to say the things, but believe, the great % of the forum agree with my opinions. and i never did insult you about this topic, checks the comments... you did insult me because i disagree with you.. poor guy , you have not even brain.

 

great was the wrong word.

but killing someone in the ring doesn't really mean vicious punching power. bugner killed someone in the ring as well early in his career and he was never a vicous puncher.

Jones and Spencer were good fighters, but nothing more then contenders. He had no more power then Walcott or Moore.

 

Yeah but Sonny was washed up, and woefully out of shape. Leotis was just better then most of the men sonny had been beating on lately.

 

Leotis Martin was the 7th rated contender in 1968, he was no bum as the forum joke ,Combat states.

 

Sonny was old, but not out-of-shape.
He had '4' good weeks to get ready for this fight.

Running ever morning, training at the Silver Slipper, and over to Lem Bankers
fitness center.
The guy was 219 for the fight.
For age 42, that wasn't bad-shape.
Plus, he lived in Las Vegas.
He fought good for 7 1/2 Rounds.

 

what a joke you are... :rofl you did edit your other comment because i humiliated you. and now you think that tommy(my friend on youtube.com) will continue your ****. :rofl. poor simpleton.

(compared with you, martin was a prime ali)XD

 

I realise English is not your first language ,but I have yet to see you win an argument on this forum, including debating with me.
You ignore corrections to statements in your post as though they never happened,and live in a little cocoon of fantasy, in which you are the centre of attention.


Basically, you are a self opionated ******.

 

He wasn't a bum, that's for sure. He had a very hard right hand and he was smart fighter.

I actually think Martin takes an old Foreman to a decision. Probably not knockout. Foreman was cleaner and fresher then Liston was in his comeback.

 

what corrections? like i said i dont read even your posts because your Knowledge about boxing is=wikipedia, mike tysonvs holyfield(the ear) and rocky marciano because he had the name of the film rocky balboa.i read the posts from the guys who know about boxing like janitor,ironchamp,mrbutt,greta,il duce,bokaj,he grant, tommy etc etc but you are a poor dummy .like i said.. maybe you think if i am hated you are right... i am hated by my way, but you are ignorant today and you will be ignorant the next year too.:hi:

 

tommy please get real man, martin was not a bum? of course he was better than you and me, but he was a bum in the history, compared with great fighters, and martin would not beat any version of old foreman, shanon briggs,bert cooper, gerry cooney,alex stewart and michael moorer would beat martin.

in my idiom bum is = average fighter not a garbage

 

After Leotis Martin Knock-out of Sonny Liston.
The Ring Magazine ranked him #4, for January 1970.
The WBA inserted him in the #1 position.

Of course eye damage, ended his career.
