Sonny Liston v Lennox Lewis in a street fight?

lewis knocks him out and chucks that dopey ******* in the bin

 

B-but Sonny beat up untrained people!

 

I'm a contractor at a prison with the state of Ohio. You admitted you've never been there and never worked there lol. The only sand foundation is you talking out of your ass based on what some people you grew up with said. I literally work there every week.

 

Its not any less probable then you claiming to work at a prison lad, there is no verification for anything anyone says without doxing themselves. It’s the way it is, take it how you want.

 

I can upload my badge lol you're comparing second hand experience to someone who works there. Mind boggling.

You also have a habit of dismissing what someone wrote without even addressing any of the points they made. It makes people a lot less inclined to want to even respond to you.

 

You are the biggest hypocrite lol. Secondly, just like you were gonna upload footage of you hitting a bag to win a pissing contest I forget did you? go, upload your badge I’m calling you on it if it means so much to you, don’t back out this time. I hope you know you’ve cornered yourself it means nothing if you do or don’t with the exception of you not keeping your word.

Good on you lad.

 

instead of leaving what I’m saying at “Good on you lad” I didn’t mean that in an entirely upturned nose sort of way, fair there’s no reason to discard what you say about the confines of a prison from a

But there is also zero way for either of to know the answer to this question with any certainty at all based on the evidence you’re providing or any of us from outside the minds of two guys one of whom isn’t even alive the other not exactly a close friend of either of ours.

Now I haven’t changed my outlook on this theoretical or a lot of what you’re saying pretty much all of it honestly because I’m an a$$ but I will apologise for conducting myself caught up in my own arrogance, I could’ve made my point without being myself as I do and I’d like to say sorry, sincerely so to you as a person.

 

Lewis had been one-shotted twice. Why is it a surprise he'd have been real cautious with Tyson? Tyson never lost his power, and always had the ability to pull off an upset when he was shot.

Point being, I don't know that being cautious in that fight means **** about Lewis, other than that he was a smart fighter. It's not like he wasn't winning anyway. If that fight had gone to decision, it would have been a shutout.

 

Well let's leave it at that then. No worries.

Every single h2h discussion will involve guys we either don't know and/or are dead so I'm not sure what makes this discussion any different.

 

We’ll leave it at that lol. By the way you’re doing a job not a lot of guys could handle I respect that.

 

You work in a prison ? i bet that's a scary job keep safe out there mate.

 

I agree it would have been a shutout. I'm not even saying he was scared of Tyson, just playing it way too safe and professional. Some guys just don't have the mentality of even attempting to bother finishing a guy, and I think Lewis had way too much respect for what was clearly a completely gassed fighter. I think there was some worry and hesitation because of what happened in the McCall and Rahman fights.

Just listening to Steward go off does seem to suggest to me Lewis might carry that same overly cautious attitude in a chaotic environment with no ref unless it was a guy significantly smaller or weaker than him or an inexperienced idiot he knows he could handle.

 

No-one in here has seen Sonny Liston in a street fight. No-one in here has seen the quality of any of Sonny's street opponents. No-one in here knows how many street fights he did or didn't have. No-one has seen how they actually went down.

You are banking an incredible amount on your own perceived psychological evaluations of Lewis, his effort against Tyson, and all the rest of it. If he was that soft he wouldn't have been the fighter he was.

I wasn't going to go there but Sonny actually quit in a fight in the ring, with his crown at stake. I'm thinking Lewis' perceived timidness or fear or whatever the claim is against Tyson is looking a whole lot better than that, to say the least.

Do i think that means Lewis towels him up? No. I've defended Liston many times when certain people automatically knee jerk back to this in virtually every fantasy fight he's in.

I'm also not going to put anything into a little cluttered studio wrestle (with a guy notably bigger than Sonny and renowned for his immense strength) where Lewis only ended up on the ground because a table collapsed. Lewis went after him aggressively for quite a while after they were first split. He definitely wanted a piece of that action.

My stance is that Lewis can't be written off because he hasn't had all these supposed street fights. He's a huge strong unit with the power to virtually kill. He also doesn't back down. It's a good match and i'm not going to pretend to know what would go down but it sure would be brutal.
