I picture death a process where I am in a white light room, I feel a great overwhelming sensation of love and connectivness... I hear a voice, "Bill, before departing into a wonderful spirit rhealm I, your Most High always grant an answer to one question... What is your pleasure? "Life after death?, the nature of all reality? The meaning of life and taxes?" Harp Music plays... "Dear Lord, those are wonderful questions indeed, and I sure would love to kow I will see people again, though I hope my old man is in a good mood... But I just have to ask... "If Liston fought Lennox lewis, prime for prime... "

I got Liston in his prime.
If Lennox thought Oliver McCall & Hasim Rahman hit hard, he'll be even more surprised by Sonny's 15 inch fists. -
Lennox at his best i think stops snny late
no esy task, but Liston will keep coming forward and a Lewis uppercut will land. I'm not a fan of size differentials in a fight but Sonny is going to plow ahead against the best version of Lennox. He'll by caught coming in with Lewis being smarter (not necessarily tougher) and eat to many big shots. Jmo.

I like to look at the ATG's run-ups to their title shot. Some are extraordinary, E.g. Tyson, Dempsey, Liston, etc.
Liston's run begins with Cleveland Williams in the spring of 1959 and runs until Paterson in the fall of 1962. 12 wins, 11 by KO with only Eddie Machen taking him the 12 round distance, but not winning a round.
No wonder people didn't think Patterson had a chance, even before their first fight.

Liston. As great as Lewis was, Liston is in a different class. That's not to say Liston is invincible: I'd pick Joe Louis over him and I think Larry Holmes would outpoint him big.Comment
