Sonny Liston Gives Ernie Terrell A Title Shot In 1963, Who Wins?

The octopus was a stylistical hard fight for sonny, they sparred and terrell did very good. I imagine that liston by close decision

 

Liston,but Ernie is still there at the end.

 

Liston on points but knowing history as we do, I don't rule out a surprise victory for Terrell.

 

Terrell arguably lost to Williams that year.

Williams was a considerable inferior to Liston.

Liston takes this.

 

And that's the thing with Terrell, he could prove an hard, difficult fight for a lot of guys. Wonder how those fights you mentioned would have played out?

 

I favor Sonny but Ernie is very live here.

 

Liston was peaking at this time, while Terrell was just entering it. Liston by a considerable margin, but Terrell is much taller than anyone Liston's fought before, and tougher than Williams, Folley, or Patterson, and perhaps gives Liston his toughest fight to date.

 

I fancy Terrell to replicate what Ali did a year after this tbh.

 

Terrell was a damned good fighter...boring but good..

 

I’d favor sonny. Terrell’s height would be negated by Liston’s freakish arm length and precision jab.
