Liston vs Frazier - Page 2

Prime Liston knocks out Fraizer.

But echoing what other's have said, in 1969, Liston was done and Frazier was fresh in his prime.

He'd have beat Liston up bad at that point.

I think Liston survives the late onslaught to win a Close decision.

1969? Liston hasnt a chance in hell. That's a prime frazier. I think he batters liston to a late stoppage.

i too think liston's length and his power would give frazier issues as he came forward and that he'd probably beat joe via decision if they were both in their primes.

but in 1969 frazier would have beat the bag out of him bro and you ain't joking.

Im sticking with the popular view here:

69' - Its Frazier all the way

Prime for Prime - Liston knocks him out, within 4, 5 or 6 at a push but only because Sonny was far more patient than Foreman

Id root for Frazier though, one of the very few select Heavys id do so over Liston

^^^ Exactly my thoughts.

I'm gonna buck the trend and say prime for prime- Smokin Joe takes him out in the 12th in a barnburner of a fight. Joe wins because he takes the punishment better than Liston, but then again I always thought Liston was overrated

I agree with Liston, it would be like shooting fish in a barrel.
Brawling inside with Liston is a suicidal idea, even if you're trying to bob and weave while you do it.
