    I tend to agree with this one as well, however, with Wlad's chin, Liston could do the deed. Depends which Wlad shows up.

    Without little doubt WK tears him up over 8 or 9 rounds. Not a good matchup for the old bear.

    Wlad lacks a chin to even a stand a chance against liston

    Wlad may very well be capable of doing it. Wlad out sizes Liston almost everywhere except reach, and is strong enough not to get bullied.

    Liston may very well lose to Vitali as well.

    if a slow stationary predictable sam peter can land and floor wlad 3 times and nearly out, i only imagine what listons punches will do.

    Both Klits beat up on Liston. Too little and can't impose his strength on either. Prime for prime, which Wlad hasn't reached yet, both beat Liston. And easily.

    You guys have no idea what you're talking about. We're talking about the big ugly bear here. He broke legs for the mob for Christs sake. He dwarfs Klitschko just like he did Patterson.

    Wlad Klitschko , who got kayoed by Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster and (almost) by Sam Peters, easily beats Sonny Liston.

    Now you are telling me!!! Heavens.

    Better jab, longer reach, better stamina, better boxing skills, much better chin.....that's another recipe: Liston early ko.

    The only way Wlad would beat Liston is with a stick while he slept.

    so this is the same wlad with all the so called physical advantages,who was ultra cautious and refused to engage the 219 pound ibragimov.what would he be like with the brooding,menacing figure of liston in front of him.i believe liston would knock him out inside eight rounds.

    The klitschko-Ibragimov thing was the worst event ever advertised as a "heavyweight championship FIGHT" that I've ever witnessed.
    It looked like they were playing that "knuckles" game, just slapping each other's gloves.
    I was left wondering whether it some sort of Russo-Ukrainian folk dance ritual.

    Klitschko is a pathetic excuse for a heavyweight champion.
