ive been reading this book recently and it talked about how sonny could beat tyson at his best. it says he was a big strong guy with a great reach and it said he was faster than tyson and had a better left jab. i aint sure though. tyson had power, good head movement and defence. what you guys think ?
Tyson inside of 6....
Yea definetly Tyson imo.. He was fast enough to get inside Listons jab, it was long and powerful but somewhat slow, Tysons head movement in his prime was far good enough to weave in and unleash..
only two people have an opinion. come on people
Well Mike Tyson could of done it, but I say Liston would of made it a close battle.
They said he was tough and had a hard stare.
It would be a battle in the trenches of hardcorps warriors, it would make for a classic fight, there would be no dancing around, Tyson KO7
Liston's jab would of controled the fight. Liston in 6.
Yea, if he would have put bloody poison on his gloves like he did with AliQuote:

Yeah i think Tyson had the advantage of head movement and stuff like that.
Mind you Liston used to go 15 rounds regularly, hardcore champ.
Shit was never comfirmed Stop making shit up.Quote:

Whatever the outcome, i doubt if u would get 2 MEANER & ANGRIER men in the ring at one time. My money would be on Tyson, but it would definately be over in 4-5 whatever way. Imagine being the ref in this one. :badass:
Great matchup.
People forget that Liston was in his prime about 4 years BEFORE he fought Patterson and won the title. he was a big man, very tough (fought 7 rounds through a broken jaw against Marty Marshall), a job like a telegraph pole, huge booming left and a crunching straight right. He would not be pushed around in the clinches and is probably only matched by Foreman in terms of brute strength and power. he couod also box reasonably well for a big man and had a good chin.
Tyson was devastatingly quick, aggressive and threw fantastic combination with effective head movement. The fastest starter in the history of heavyweight boxing, KO powe rin both fists, an underrated boxer with a very good chin.
The minuses - would Tyson implode once he found he couldn't bully or scare Liston. Liston was a bigger bully than Tyson, did more jail time and was a meaner sob. Would he bully Tyson?
Liston was afraid of no man - the only thing that freaked him out was crazy people because he never knew what they would do next. If he was fighting non-prime Mike, would he think he was a crazy man?
This is a pick 'em fight!
everyone will say tyson but liston could crack and before the cassius clay incident which i think is bit strange aswell he was very good fighter tyson doesnt like people that fire back liston in 10 plus liston could bully people and had great jab
