Vitali VS Liston

well its difficult to duck mediocrity.

 

curiously forman was green against all them and still stopped them faster than liston and his % ko is much better than liston's despite he fought in his 40s and fought better men . curiously lol

 

Old Foreman was a 250 pound behemoth. We're not talking about old Foreman.

 

Then there is no argument that he'd outright duck anybody. He fought Lennox on less than a month's notice. He fought and beat a prime world title holder after being retired for four years with no prior tuneup - something that's never been done before or at least at heavyweight. He tried to get rematches with his only two conquerors.. He fought and beat a guy who had just destroyed his brother who many felt was the better of the two of them. Man like that deserves the benefit of the doubt.

 

Yes and no.

Once the WBC title was safely in his hands, we saw some pretty awful title defences!

 

Not by his own making though. Most of the more worthy challengers wanted nothing to do with him and pursued his brother who was of higher value and perceived by many of them as being slightly less risky, I.e. David haye being one example of such opponent.

 

styles make fights... Frazier dropped ali and did hurt him more than george.despite foreman hits harder. However what is your excuse for the much better %ko of foreman overall? I am curious lol

 

Then they were either talking **** or you are mistaken. Up until the Jimmy Young fight young Foreman had 46 fights winning 41 of them by stoppage in a total of 113 rounds. Liston's whole career only produced 39 stoppages, and it took him a lot more rounds than 113 to get them.

So how the hell did Liston hit harder than the " young " version of Foreman?

How about naming all these common opponents of young Foreman and Liston and comparing how long ALL of them lasted against each man.

 

Vitali would be beaten to death

 

60s ali? So you cut a carrer in the part you pick and then you make a %ko? Lol
