Sonny Liston Is Asked To Describe His Ideal Opponent.

Dick Tiger?

 

What do you mean "fantasy interview" ?

 

But what if that same fighter hit like a mule, had a great chin, had the stamina of a husky and could not be deterred.....

 

Frazier!!!!

 

If Marciano was also asked to describe his fantasy opponent he would say a bully who quit 2X when the going got tough

 

haha good

 

frazier slow?he was miles faster than liston, and frazier never got cut easily, frazier was not small neither, in fact their lowest weights were around the same, prime vs prime frazier weighed 209 pounds in his absolute peak in 1970 for bob foster and liston in his absolute peak in 1960 weighed 212 for cleveland williams , liston was taller so it explains the extra pounds, liston had bigger upper body and frazier had bigger thicker legs, they were very close in size.( i am not talking about reach, tyson was bigger than hearns)

 

Sorry I misread the original post. Oops!

 

I'm assuming Liston was making a joke here. Lol

 

True or not, it's impossible not to think in Rocco Francis Marchegiano...

 

Very simliar style to Marciano, but Frazier didn't cut so easily.

 

Great find, source?

Clearly it sounds like he's describing Rocky.

 

Fantasy could have been the name of the publication !
Maybe a short-lived attempt to compete with Playboy.

 

So it's real or not?
