Liston vs Foreman in a slugfest.

Close one, goes to Foreman. Several knockdowns, @Richard M Murrieta.

 

Liston uses his superior boxing ability and ring IQ to outjab Foreman and break him down en route to a midround stoppage.

 

Foreman, he's a true slugger.

 

Liston would win by counterpunching.

 

Liston with ease over Foreman or Tyson . SONNY is made for these fights.

 

Um what?

 

Foreman needed room to hit liston wont give him any and young foreman too tense... Perhaps liston

 

I treasure the knockdowns forever, Lol

 

I just watched a foreman documentary last night and he said that exact thing, that after he won the title, he was trying to imitate Sonny in demeanor, intensity, etc. I agree, it would be hard to try to go 100% against your idol. It would be like going against your older brother, or something. Always that respect. Could make the difference, as you said.

 

Toss up

If I had to pick I'd go with Liston ... But it's 50/50 for me

 

Foreman had a lot to say about Liston in sparring as well, saying it was "the most dangerous thing he ever did" and called him "the perfect package". I actually saw a couple seconds of them shadowboxing in a video recently.

 

Liston has the better jab. Foreman had the better chin. Who hit harder is up in the air but I’m inclined to lean towards foreman. Who wins ? Here’s a vote for big George but hardly a forgone conclusion.

 

for no reason in particular, I pick Sonny
