          Dempsey is a bad match up for Liston and Foreman, in my opinion. I love to be able to see a Frazier-Dempsey fight though.

            Not saying he would beat them all but Tyson vs. them all would be 3 classics.

              i am not knocking Larry Holmes but he would have little chance against these 3 monsters, they would cut the ring off and chop him down, Holmes does not have the right-hand needed to beat them.
              Foreman is the easier of the 3 to beat, but to beat them you need to be a Cassius Clay, Gene Tunney or a Ray Leonard, a fighter with exceptional ability on his feet with a fast strong jab and good right hand.. if all was in their prime i see only Cassius Clay & Gene Tunney being able to beat them with Joe Louis also giving them a run for the money, its all about keeping these 3 fighters off so that they cannot inflict their damage on their opponent which would be very difficult when in their prime.

                Ali did beat them.

                Louis and Jack Johnson.

                  Any one of the fighters on my sig could beat the other on his given day, but with regard to Frazier, Liston and Foreman, I'd put money on Ali, Louis, with Holmes and Lewis being 50-50 fights.. I think a prime Mike Tyson would beat Liston and Frazier, but i'm not so sure about Foreman..

                    I believe Larry Holmes has the style to beat Liston and Foreman,but would get stopped by Frazier in the late rounds.

                    Louis wasn't the greatest fighter moving backwards,but would blitz Frazier early.I believe both Liston and Foreman would stop him.

                    Lewis had the style to beat all three,but would have a hard time beating all three.I think he had a 50-50 chance against all three,but a 25% chance of beating all three.

                    Jack Johnson only weighed 193 lbs in his prime.Foreman was 220 lbs,Liston 212 lbs,and Frazier 205lbs.I believe Frazier would put to much pressure on Johnson,going to the body and fighting at a pace that would be to much for Johnson.Liston and Foreman are both to big and strong,and punch to hard for the 193lb Johnson.

                    I think Dempsey would have a 50-50 chance against Frazier,but would get bombed out by both Foreman and Liston.

                    Mike Tyson would stop Frazier early,but get stopped early by both Foreman and Liston.

                    It would take a certain style to beat all three.Tunney had the style but was just to small.You would also have to have great heart and take a good punch to beat all three.I see only Larry Holmes having a good chance of beating all three,but it would be tough getting by Smokin' Joe Frazier.
