Sonny Liston Would of beat Ali if he would of faced him when he was younger

[Trainer Monkey]

Ali was to young and inexperienced to formulate a excellent strategy like he did against Foreman when he fought Liston so i agree Mr140 Liston would have had a very good chance (maybe he even would have beaten Ali) if he was younger. I mean have you seen the pictures of Listons neck exercises where he is basically standing upright on his head, while ony using his arms for report. He was a freak and strong neck muscles can help a fighter take a better punch, maybe Ali wouldnt have K.O'd a younger more in-shape Liston

Naww go back and watch the fight,or any of Ali's fight,Liston was a great fighter,but he wasnt an exceptional pursuer.If it isnt there you cant hit hit it.
And again,myths and mythos aside,Liston wasnt that old,he fought for 6 more years,compiling a record of 15-1 in that time

I never said Liston would ali I just think when Liston was younger he would have had a lot better chance and probably wouldn't have got knocked out

Little known fact,Liston had a life long phobia of the mentally ill,by the third round,he was convinced Clay was raving mad,so barring an early knockout(which never happened to Ali) the best improvement probably would have been a decision that Ali still would have won
