George Foreman vs Sonny Liston

Post by zuru »

I think Foreman is stronger,punches harder and has a better chin.Liston might have a speed advantage but I think Foreman is a Juggernaught and overpowers Liston to a ko win.

I'm assuming modern rules, scheduled 12 rounds. Exciting fight. Both hit hard and will land good shots. I think Foreman prevails by KO in later rounds.

Liston didn't have enough slickness to deal with Foreman (even though he outsmarted "Sweat Pea" Williams :lol: ). Foreman would KO Sonny.

Foreman's stamina is a liability and Liston boxed better. But, Foreman was stronger. I'd take Liston by knockout but I'm not betting on it.
