Sonny Liston vs Mike Tyson

[boxing boy]

Liston is so over-rated it isn't even funny.

Be more specific. Why do you feel this way?

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

All this fear and intimidating stuff has nothing to do with it. If you guys had payed attention to Tysons fight when he was in his prime, you would know he looked away or down a lot during a lot of the stare downs. Some guys he did stare down but most guys he didn't. I think Tyson was just to quick and skilled for Liston in his prime. It would be a tough fight but I see Tyson getting him out of there in 4 or 5 rounds because Liston wouldn't run and hold. Of coarse Liston had a punchers chance.

Easy win for mike way to good at picking shots and combos and son was bad at defending them and he was to slow and easy to read

Proper etiquette says you refer to a man by his full name or surname unless he is a personal relationship.

Mike Tyson or Tyson is correct - he is not 'mike' to you.

And if he is a personal friend, then your first introduce him to us as Mike Tyson, tell us he is your friend, and then call him Mike. (Still capitalizing the M.)
