Who would have the most success in today's HW era: Liston, Foreman, or Tyson?

Tyson was the best heavyweight of all-time, if Rooney was in a young Tyson`s corner now the only heavyweight that could match his angles and offensive skills would be Usyk, I feel Usyk would beat Foreman however Foreman would have a chance v the top 3 heavies in this era, Liston would struggle the most, he was too short, Foreman was hard to keep off than Liston, Sonny`s reach would help him in this era though and it isn`t a great era ddspite that I like the heavyweight drama a lot, and fights involving these three would make the current heavyweight scene even more dramatic.

 

From that trio, I pick Liston in this era.

Sonny`s reach (Sonny Liston 213 cm, Tyson Fury 216cm, Deontay ilder 211cm, Anthony Joshua 208cm, Oleksandr Usyk 198cm) would help him in the current era. We all know how powerful Sonny`s is Job + In the present era there is no Muhammad Ali (but there is Oleksandr Usyk).
In any case, adding any of the three boxers, or even all three, would contribute to the quality of the current HW division.

 

Don't think any would be dominant because I don't think any would beat Tyson Fury. All would be comfortably the next best though and the likes of Wilder and Joshua wouldn't get near any of the belts they have had.

Prime Mike Tyson may prove me wrong about beating Fury, if any.

 

All three would be dominant in todays era

 

Usyk?

 

All 3 are better

 

First line eliminates this opinion.

All three would struggle in this era just due to size. Fury being 6'9" would eliminate any advantage George or Liston would have.

Usyk was 6'3" 221 for the Joshua fight, which makes him comparable to Foreman in his prime.

 

Tyson often weighed 220 and punched his full weight, he was also a better finisher than any heavyweight in history despite Wilder having more one punch power.

 

Tyson. Fast, high output, lots of power and lots of movement.
He would be a very bad style matchup for both Joshua and Fury, and make it close enough with Usyk to win the decision every time in the US.

 

They would all do well but Tyson is the most versatile of the 3 imo and would have the most success. I could picture Foreman losing to Usyk and I think Mike beats him. Not sure about Fury.

 

Liston destroys everybody.

 

Liston is an overated bum.

Tyson very good chance of KOing everyone and foreman probably beats and loses a few to the best.

 

Above those 3? Perhaps one of them.

If that's what you're asking me. Feel free to clarify

 

You mentioned Wilder and AJ but didn`t mention Usyk.
