    Jack Dempsey’s Willard vs Ali’s Liston

    - - Could Liston beat Willard under 100degree 4th of July extended outdoor conditions?

    Could Willard beat Liston under Miami indoor 15 rd conditions?

    That Dempsey vs that Clay anyone?

    Liston beats him as easily as Jack did.

      I don't hardly favor Willard in most match ups. Maybe someone should tell me why I should. At the moment he's a guy who was there at a time and little else.


      I might even favor the tiny HW champs against him. Burns and Fitzs. Definitely Spinks. Spink would spank that guy.

        Willard destroyed a legend. Liston did not.

          Hard to figure... different eras, different "boxing." Liston has amazing skills at his best. They are obvious when viewed on tape... But with Willard we don't exactly know what we are dealing with... There is nothing much to look at. My instinct would be to go with Liston.

            i would go for liston. if we take all the trash talk and pressure from the media and supporters away from his clay fights then liston was a killer. liston was great. he just happened to fight the ultimate great that night!
