Prime Sonny Liston vs Prime wladimir klitschko

Nothing disqualifies a poster's credibility than unqualified statements. Yes Liston was KO'ed by Martin. That being said , perhaps the statement should be framed for perspective by pointing out he was north go forty when it happened and Sonny was not a well preserved forty at that. :?

 

He was the same age when he got KO'd by Martin as Wlad dismantling AL a couple weeks ago.

 

NO. YOU try to get something right. I am London through and through ( albeit East London to Haye's South East London ) but David did NOT even ATTEMPT to fight W.K. For all his verbal he went in to survive. NOTHING MORE.

 

Dead right, which made his pre-fight boasts seem ridiculous.

 

No one had a heavier jab than Liston.

 

Oh I see, this has descended into cowardly trash talking behind your computer instead of posting any constructive argument to how WK could defeat Liston.

I have no time to read nonsense and you are now blocked.

You are dead to me.

 

no, he would still, and today more than ever before a
scary person


I Watch Chisora spits water into the face Wlad Klitschko or
Shannon Briggs stupid actions and I guarantee you
that neither Briggs or Chisora would never try that to Liston


and if they do, it would not surprise me if both were dead
a few days later.
Liston self and his contacts were and would be still spooky
and he was a real gangster type.

He destroy a gang leader in prison
at a young age , he destroyed several people in prison.

Chisora and Briggs are Clowns and Klitschko
grew up in very good conditions.

So you have no clue about what you talking.

 

plus liston beat up a patrol of policemen with his bare hands

 

klittard comparing wlads middling narrow skills to alis.

 

I recently re-watched Liston fights and I have to agree. I think the problem is that Liston's feet are too slow. On the other hand, I think Wlad's prime - yet rarely credited - asset is his footwork and footspeed. He didn't get caught on the ropes for a second during 12 rounds of angry plotting Peter.

To illustrate: Liston couldn't land anything significant on Machen. Wlad didn't drop a single round against Byrd & Chambers, both at least as good as or better than Machen.

The other thing I noticed is Liston's lack of handspeed. His right hand is strongly telegraphed, Ali dodged it with ease. Williams - whose record when he stepped up is utterly unimpressive - had no difficulty finding good old Sonny.

Also note that prime Liston is about Byrd's size. He has a lot of ground to cover and that's going to be one hell of a task without a speed advantage.

 

Byrd pushed Wald back and he doesn't have the power to burst a bubble. Wlad was clinching all over him.
Watch it. Just look at it!

Liston bludgeons him

 

Good points all around. I think the speed advantage for Wlad (hand and foot) is real, and he's not getting enough credit for that, along with his footwork.

 

Great analysis!!

 

yes **** analysis you mean.

ali dodged liston because ali was fastest hw ever.

wlad has no chance of dodging liston since he cant dodge a 37 year old retired guy who never made it as a contender when prime, let alone 10 years late.

liston still kills wlad, probably in round 1.
