He would have wiped the floor with legends like Dempsey and Marciano and Frasier. I would have him in my top 5 best heavyweights ever.

Sonny Liston one of the greatest

In his prime Sonny was a composed and clever boxer with devastating power and that awesome battering ram of a jab.
It's a real shame casuals and the general public just know him from that bull**** dive poster.
Plus of course he had the most menacing countenance in boxing history.

I like Foreman’s wins better, and therefore rank him higher than Liston. I think Liston beats Dempsey and Marciano, but I’m less convinced against Frazier. I don’t see him beating Holmes.

Why can't you guys praise a fighter without demeaning other fighters?
The lists are one thing but this other thing: "he would destroy" - "he would crush" - so and so "wouldn't last a round." All this hyperbole makes your arguments sound silly but more importantly they are disrespectful to many a great fighter.
Cut it out. Respect these ATGs. All of them.Last edited by Willie Pep 229; 03-30-2025, 01:46 PM.
