My daughter, who is a Liston fan, would like to know what u guys think. Please discuss. Just for the record, I told her Liston.
Liston by KO................. Charles is no Clay / Ali........... Liston falls behind early, but catches Buzzard Charles late.......... Liston by KO 12 over Charles......... Cheerio.... MR.BILL
Charles LOST 2 X to Marciano...................... Styles make fights................. Liston was a MONSTER for his era............ His jab was awesome......... Pre '63 Liston was a killer in the ring.......... The '60 Liston kayo's the '50 Charles......... It goes a while, but Liston catches him and stops Charles in wicked fashion.......... Peace........ MR.BILL
Mr. Thomas, I'd like and appreciate your view on my 'Sherlock Holmes' Thread in the lounge....... :hat:deal MR.BILL
There is a case to be made for that Horn, as strange as that may sound to some. Charles had the stones. Both Men were strong with a good inside game. Charles the better boxer and quicker then Liston could very well punch and get out of the way of the slower Liston. Past prime Charles stood up to Marciano in a 15rd. War and wasn't so much as knocked down or ever really in trouble. And who's to say who hit harder, Liston or Marciano. I'd still shade toward Sonny but could be surprised at an SD for a prime Charles.
much as i think ezzard is the best light heavy of all time i believe charles sonny would bust him up.
I tend to agree T, however, I don't believe Liston would have it all his way. This isn't Zora Folley, Cleveland Williams, or Albert Westphal. I think a prime Charles give Sonny some trouble. It would be an interesting bout to say the least.
