    Right. So you've made two identical threads with slightly different titles. Good. I'll pick Frazier in this one.

    Liston by a brutal KO. It would be more one sided than the Foreman fights. Foreman threw wide punches and missed a lot. Liston didn't.

    Liston wasn't as tall or heavy as Foreman. Liston was about 6 ft Joe about 5"11 yes Liston had a longer reach but he never faced anyone with Joe's head movement and non stop attack. Joe gets under Sonnys reach and wears him down.

    Sonny Liston: 'Fighting Joe Frazier would be like shooting crabs in a barrel'.

    I tend to agree
