how does lewis knock him out. punching power:liston. chin liston. lewis has a glass jaw liston has an iron one. if anyone's getting knocked out it's glass jawed lewis.
height,skills,speed. liston ko'd dreadfully by butterfly ali. slow ponderous liston would be eating overhand rights all night, quite like tyson did, because thats all liston is, a slower version of tyson, prime or past it.
Liston had an iron jaw which was better than tyson's, bigger, stronger, hit harder, better jab, better stamina, adaptability, if you want, i can break it down for you further. Angelo Dundee once said that Liston was actually as quick if not quicker than Tyson though he looked slow, especially when he fought Ali. But Sonny had quick hands, threw his punches correctly and boy, that jab was a sledgehammer. if you think the phantom punch was legit, you truly belong in the general lounge.
i never stated liston was faster than tyson. i'm just saying his speed is underrated. you are saying i said things that i actually never said.
Though by no means a liar, Angelo Dundee did have a habit of hyping Ali's opponents into " dangerous " guys. Especially with the benefit of hindsight.
Larry Holmes Greg Page Riddick Bowe(prime) Huggy Bear Gerry Cooney Tim Witherspoon Mike Tyson George Foreman Pinklon Thomas(prime).
Who beats Liston - quite a few, but here are some off the top of my head. Liston is no ATG Tyson Lewis Holyfield Bowe Holmes V.Klitschko Ali Tony Tucker? George Foreman
Liston has to be some sort of monster for the following reasons: 1) To hype up Ali 2) because Foreman said so.
I never seen a son match and was impressed its nothing there even though I dont like George style he does have early matches where he uses defense and was great at cutting the ring
Houston we have a bruh moment, no way in hell Ezzard or Walcott have a better chance than Tyson Frazier or even Dempsey for christ sake, I like your wildcards of Dempsey & Rocky but would relegate Walcott/Ezzard as possible wildcards, though even compared to the former two have a lesser chance IMO. Johnson and Bowe probably get KO'd within 4 rounds, not even an option here. Tyson has a better chance than all others i've mentioned.
