Sonny Liston fighting Ernie Terrell

Its an exhibition, not a real match. Do you think Terell in real matches reminds you a bit of Tony Thompson?

 

I reckon Terrell would do very well today. Heavyweights being as they are.

 

Damn you, McGrain! It would take ten Terrells to equal even one Acklie, and you know it. Snob. :bart

Sentimental Hogwash.

But at least he could sing better than Joe Frazier.

 

And play the guitar.:good
His sister wasn't bad either,at singing I mean.

 

i didn't know that either.sonny did look like he was taking it easy,which wasn't something i thought he was capable of.

Foneda Cox ,Sonny's sparring partner during his top years said Liston was a sweet heart ,except when he drank.

 

Aside from the K brothers, I don't see any active top HW who has the skill that Ernie Terrell had. My opinion.

 

but liston take the beating of his life on ali's hand and put him out of commission by breaking his shoulder and liston still in his prime at the time of fight:!:

 

Povetkin, Chagaev a couple years ago, Chambers right now... those come to mind.

 

he liked his vodka didn't he:good

 

I think Povektin, or Chagaev at their best would beat Terell 2 out of 3 times. Chambers doesn't punch enough, so Terell might jab and grab his way to a points decision.

Terell is what he is. We can all see the films. Lets be honest about him. He's a slightly better version of Tony Thompson.

 

His style turned me off,but he did beat .
Jones
Machen
Folley
Foster
Chuvalo
Lincoln
Williams.
That's a better resume than any contender today imo.

 

Terrell would have held a version of the title in modern times...he was an effective, if dull fighter with a longass jab and a tendency to hold, like I said...effective. Better than a John Ruiz...he would have beaten the version of Roy Jones that beat Ruiz...that I believe for starters.
