    I think Sonnys jab gives him some success but i dont see it going past 6 rounds and i think Foreman would come off the better.

    Same as yours.

    One of the easiest to predict (imo) among the great heavyweights. Foreman obviously can never be counted out with his brute strength and power but it'd just be hard for Foreman to do much against someone who can match (or at least come close enough) even himself in strength and with an even better ramrod jab.

    The holes in Foremans game would be made all too apparent pretty early on.

    yeah liston wins.

    Jab, technical ability, and speed all go to Liston. maybe you could say the power is foremans but barely. everything else is pretty equal.

    Liston just is a more complete fighter

    Foreman had just 1 slugest in his youth, a great legendary war VS a H2H monster puncher toughman called Ronny Lyle who was a ****ing BEAST who pumped serious iron in jail. Big George won by KO5, And got up twice to prove he INVINCIBLE in a slugfest. My Xpert opinion is Foreman KO6 Liston, each with many knockdowns.

    Liston is far more of a beast than Ron Lyle

    The question to ask is just how Foreman would beat Liston. And I can't really see how he would.

    Sure, Foreman's an overrated slob.
