Sonny Liston v.s Joe Frazier

Liston should take this one similar to the way Foreman did.Although I see him taking a few rds longer as I believe he would jab his way in and be a little more patiant than George.

 

Liston wins by KO in 5.

I am legend is obviously an unappreciated boxing god. Aside from that I am sure glad we didn't see what would have been a very bad day for smokin Joe here. Anyone who came right at Sonny was in a heap o' trouble.

 

Liston takes Frazier,Liston along with Foreman is a very bad matchup for Joe.

 

Wow, this is incredible! Seven out of seven respondents think Liston would just blow Frazier away. I would like to repeat, for about the hundredth time I've said it, that the Frazier who was blasted out by Foreman was a deteriorated, overweight and unfocused version and not the same fighter who had beaten Ali. Liston was not as aggressive and, in my opinion, not as powerful as Foreman, Frazier was considerably more durable than Patterson, and Foreman took two and five rounds to stop a marginally past-prime and semi-shot Frazier respectively. In particular, then, it baffles me that people are predicting a Liston one-round knockout here.
Now, I think a Liston stoppage is a real possibility, especially if he could take charge immediately and maintain it for a few rounds, but there would be at least a very live chance that the quicker, busier, better-conditioned, and much tougher Frazier could survive early and take over the fight as it progressed through the middle and later rounds.

 

Liston KO inside 3.

 

This is a bad, bad matchup for Joe, anybody who "pressure" fights Liston by going straight for him would realistically end up in big trouble. Frazier was a superb fighter, however styles make fights and I can't seen him lasting beyond the mid-rounds.
