Sonny Liston vs. Larry Holmes

So how old do you think he was when he fought Clay?

 

Since most reliable sources have him born in 1932, i would go with 32 years old.

 

:good i agree that as much as holmes had somthing called a jab he had a left hand that did everything it was a tool not a punch.
liston was a deadwieght powerful left cross
holmes used it as a way of doing stuff inside the ring.


why so many people say who has the best jab they say holmes becuase his use of it.

 

I am biased about this,I like Liston,I don't care for Holmes at all.I think it would be a good fight,I do think Holmes had an advantage with the jab through out his career.In this fight he would not,and the fact that the shorter man has the reach on him would bother him.Liston's jab power of punch makes this a very tough fight for Holmes.I think Sonny would win.

 

Shavers having faster hands than Liston gave me a chuckle.
