This photo of Foreman and Liston

George himself talked very movingly of Liston. For that matter, Mike as well, but George moreso because he was an actual friend. It has been written that when George hit the heavy bag, the only think in the room was a picture of Sonny on the wall.

George used to tell the story that he liked to rough up his sparring partners, but he would hit Sonny with a monster punch and Liston would say "no, son," and knock George on his ass.

 

So prior to Ali Liston never weighed more in between fights? Foreman didn't weigh more in between fights either?

 

He was 19 in that pic? What the hell were they feeding that boy?

 

I really enjoyed your post.

 

Look at the angle of the sign in the back and the fact that Foreman is very close to the camera. It's the angle.

 

Foreman always looks big.... Theres just something about him, he was the first truly big heavyweight. He made Norton look weak by comparison. And he towered over Moorer and Morrison. I bet even if he fought Klitschko, Bowe or Lennox he would've been about the same size and be physically just as strong/stronger

 

Foreman & Liston

A hairdressers worst nightmare.

 

This is how I came to that conclusion.

 

What is with all these posts about "naturally bigger men" "Thick, wide shouldered frames" and "denser muscle" it's all so... yeah

i get the height weight and reach discussion ideal weight being a factor as is height and reach but yeah guys stop....

 

There are a lot of size queens around don’t you know

 

The way they talk about boxers bodies and bone structures here is so *****.
