    I wouldn't overly want to be a sparring partner.

    Everyone knows road running doesn't help in boxing.

    I wouldn't want to be a short arm 188lbs come forward slugger either.

    Sorry to the hardcore fans on here but there is no way in hell Marciano beats a prime Lìston.

    I don't remember seeing that Liston video before, give me the link to the thread where I made the above quote. I'm sure I wrote that, but I'm also sure it wasn't about Liston, it was probably about Corbett, Willard, Firpo, Galento, etc. I guess you aren't above being deceptive to try to push your agenda?

    No. It was a joke.
    Yes, you've said that (and similar) before, more than once I think, about lots of fighters, and I remember it as a very funny line.
    I'm not pushing an agenda or being deceptive, just having a laugh. Lighten up.

    I really like the Liston training vids. When he does his hand stand neck work is really incredible.

    I've deleted the comment now, since it's clear you didn't find it funny and I wouldn't want others to take it as a serious quote of yours on this video either.

    Brilliant skipping for such a heavy set man.

    Very agile. One of the 'ideal' heavyweights in my opinion.

    It's amazing how a guy that thickset can weigh only 220lbs in his prime but a stringbean like Malik Scott can weigh in the 240s. What the hell's happened to physics?
