    Sonny "****ing" Liston........:deal

    MR.BILL:hat

    Jack "The Shark" Sharkey would get hammered against Liston regardless of what the old farts and golden era lovers think....

    This is pretty much a no-brainer to me.

    Liston easily, unless

    Sharkey was packing heat. :hey

    I'm going to agree with Greg.

    Sharkey.

    The both of you are crazy, I don't know how you can ever seriously make Sharkey the favorite.

    But since Liston is just a spineless bully who got knocked out by a cruiserweight like Leotis Martin, decisioned by Marshall who is essentially a poor mans gene Tunney, I'd give Sharkey a CHANCE.

    I'm honestly doing it just because suzie's divisive bull**** regarding h2h matchups is very annoying and i know it gets him mad just to read something like that. Sharkey's a good fighter at his peak too, better than given credit for as well and I think Liston ran into a boxalike in Ali and got dominated...

    sharkey could beat 'im ;)

    Sharkey can out-manuever him. Liston is too slow on his feet and Sharkey would out jab him.

    Liston is a glorified slugger IMO. Couldn't deal with movement of any form.

    ???

    Come on gp. Liston had a greater, snappier, and just flatout better jab then Sharkey.

    Glorrified slugger? Guy is a boxer puncher. He sure dealt with movement against Eddie Machen. Who was a better heavyweight then sharkey imo
