Evander Holyfield vs Sonny LIston

[Max Power]

Holyfeild would make him quite also X he never failed a drug test in 26 year career so why would that even happen. Holyfeild would out hustle and box Liston till he throw in the towel. Patterson is the only win Liston had that was great and he was great Lhw not a hw really not the best chin.

Do not dismiss Liston too lightly, he beat decent fighters and he handled Patterson like he was a light heavyweight.

That's because Patterson WAS a light HW!

Best win Patterson, that says it all. That there is enough to dismiss Liston outright!

You are laughig at David Haye who has wins over Valuev, Chisora, Harrison, Barrett, Mormeck etc yet are trying to use Floyd Patterso as some kind of proof of worth for Liston?

Double standards much!

The first and ONLY time met a decent opponent, he fucking lost!

What I was trying to say, which you completely missed the point, was yes he battered a light heavyweight as a good heavyweight would! How can you criticise him for stopping someone in round one?

[Max Power]

Alright, no I cannot. He did the job he was supposed to do.

All I will criticise Liston on is he has one of the most terrible list of opponents.

Bums, Cruisers, guys on loss streaks, combinations of the three.

That represents Liston's opponents in it's entirety!

Except one, Muhammad Ali, Shoulder injury and potential dive losses. Neither stimulating results for either Ali or Liston!!

[Master]

Sonny beat the top contenders before he fought Floyd including Williams, Valdez, Folley and Machen. After he lost the title he carried on until he was 40 beating Wepner. He had a decent run.

mismatch as shown here so anybody who voted son wins is obviously not sane,liston loses in the 1st
