Sonny Liston Vs larry Holmes

Holmes SWEET Holmes........... Holmes just too savvy, quick, skilled for the slower but more powerful Liston.... Holmes is just too much of a technician for Liston...... Word...

MR.BILL:bbb

 

WELL NORTON GAVE HOLMES FITS.............BUT LISTONS JAB IS A THUD...............I SAY LISTON VIA DEC....:smoke:smoke

 

That is a possibilty,Liston had a very broad back.

 

Liston was awful as champ. He did nothing after losing title. He beat some contenders on way to title, which some say makes him great. Not me, I'll go almost with any champ over Liston.

 

Marty Marshall broke Listons jaw in first fight winng decison over Sony, and knocked him down in another losing effort to Liston. Liston did not have an iron chin.

 

Would have been a good fight regardless.

 

Oh yeah, that I agree with 100%

 

Valuev beats both of them into unconsciousness. He's far bigger than either.

 

Liston would have knocked Holmes out.

 

:blood

Liston poses a head to head threat to most champs throughout history. Who he fought when he wasn't wearing a belt doesn't have any bearing on that.

Even being the Assassin nuthugger that I am, this is one scary matchup. I may have to go with prime Sonny.
