    12 rounds.

    World Heavyweight title.

    Both in their primes.

    Battle of murderous punchers on the Vegas Strip.

    Both lost to the best heavys of their day - Tyson and Ali respectively.

    Both were World Heavyweight Champions of different eras.

    Who takes this - 12 rounds for the World Heavyweight title :bbb:bbb:bbb

    Liston without a doubt he was one of the hardest heavyweight punchers of all time,had a great jab and a great chin.he kos bruno but Frank would give him a good fight while it lasted because he never lacked for heart.

    you think Bruno looked scared to death against Tyson, he'd **** himself in front of Liston.

    I think the better question is does Frank make it out of the first round?

    Please. Sonny was a better boxer than Frankie, and at his best, quick, and unbelievably powerful. Bruno was grea....mmm no i think he was was very goo..mmm no i think he was decent, which means Sonny was much better, slighlty stronger, and a lot meaner.

    Bruno would be lucky to get out of the first round.

    Liston was way more fluid than Bruno.

    People forget that when George Foreman turned pro, he used to spar with Liston and used to get his *** beat up.

    Liston KO in under 5 rounds

    Liston was an ATG HW champion

    Whereas, Bruno was a great HW in his era but was just one of a number of great HWs from the 1980s-1990s

    Sonny Liston's whole career is based off him beating 180 pound Floyd Patterson and old times try to hype him up. Bruno lost 5 fights to 4 people. Each of these guys he lost to were better than Liston. With the exception of Mike Tyson he did well against the other 3 guys. I don't see why somebody who was as slow as Liston would give Bruno any real problems.

    Look I like Frank and think he was a really good fighter and he’s always been a true gentleman in the sport. But Liston would beat the hell out of Frank.

    Battle of two heavy jabs early, an Bruno can jab with anyone imo, it’s what’s coming after the jab that’s franks problem, he’d get assaulted from 3 onwards, before the finish. Frank can pump that jab an a bigger man than Liston maybe stronger too, but listons a natural killer, Bruno wasn’t. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gives Liston a far better fight than most think
