Joe Frazier vs. Sonny Liston (1971)

[Controversial]

Apparently there was talk of this fight happening, how do you see it playing out?

[Boxing187]

Frazier would of won at this point, he was at his peak and Liston was getting old

[Woldemar]

Frazier UD 15

[elmersalsa]

Smokin' Joe by knockout in 11.

[DrDuke]

Frazier by a stoppage. Smokin' Joe was a monster back then.

[Nile4000]

Frazier by 10th round TKO.

[Seamus]

Frazier by TKO in the 6th. Ref stops the one sided beating.

[DrDuke]

Frazier by TKO in the 6th. Ref stops the one sided beating.

Well, Sonny needed no refs for that.

[gilgamesh]

Liston had went to sh*t by this point. Frazier would've handed him a one sided beating.

[Djanders44]

Yeah. I agree with the others. Liston was shot by 1971. Frazier would have cleaned his clock at that time. Prime vs. Prime may have been different.

[gilgamesh]

Yep. I knew he had died around this time, I assumed with the creation of the thread that maybe he died shortly after this time period, but yes he died right at the end of 1970.

[Djanders44]

Sonny Liston wasn't just shot by 1971, he was dead.

Frazier sure would have had an easy time of it then.

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Gotta go with joe. A corpse doesnt stand up well so a quick ko is the most likely scenario
