    Your IMOJL account is unbanned, why did you make a new one?

    Are we talking prime for prime? Liston was his era's George Foreman. How would Joe decapitate him?

    No. This is asking what would've happened IF Liston knocked Martin out.

    Exhibit A:
    Exhibit B:
    In September 2019, IMOJL spoke of his grandfather in present tense indicating he was still alive at the age of 84
    A couple months later in 2020, IMOJL indicated he'd unfortunately passed away.
    What a coincidence!

    Exhibit C: Only you make absurd statements such as these

    Now can we please drop the charade?

    I want to thank all my friends who expressed condolences on the passing of my mother. Hard to believe it had been that many years but not a day goes by that I don't think of her. She passed suddenly and unexpectedly, and far too soon. It was a major shock to all who knew her. I believe that she is in Heaven, not because she was a good person, which she was, but because she had put her trust in Christ as her savior, accepting that His death on the cross paid the price for her sins and restored her fellowship with God. She lived a life committed to Christ and God. This is what the Bible teaches as the way to Heaven that is open to everyone, as John 3:16 states "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." It is this that gives me the comfort and hope that I will see her again when my time comes.

    Nevertheless, she was a pretty cool person. She listened to and liked the music of my generation and had a very sharp sense of humor. Had she lived, I can easily envision her surfing the internet and making posts on forums such as this.

    You are more than welcome. Being a Mum would be no picnic (exhibit A - myself # 1 and 4 older siblings) but by and large they all do it so damn well with as much love, care and sincerity as you will ever know. Take care man. Look forward to more posts from yourself.

    Old Liston v Frazier would have been a fight. Prime for prime Liston crushes him like Foreman. Old man Liston is probably a closer fight. Maybe have to edge Frazier there.

    Frazier would've put a whooping on Listons ass in 69
