  • Apart from Ali, who else do you think could beat Sonny Liston.

    I have a hard time thinking of anyone could beat the man decisively.
    Your thoughts?

    I would take Joe Louis over him also.

      I'd give the best versions of the following a good chance.....but I'm by no means certain.

      Larry Holmes
      Riddick Bowe
      Evander Holyfield
      Mike Tyson

        Holmes, Louis, Lewis (would be very close, probably they split a trilogy), and maybe Johnson.

          It would take a certain style and type of fighter like Larry Holmes. I don't see fighters like Frazier, Marciano, Tyson, or Dempsey, beating Liston.

              A Liston-Johnson fight would be very interesting. Johnson manhandled Jeffries in the clinches. It would be interesting to see how he dealt with Sonny. My first impression is that he would decision him.

                3. Larry Holmes(Still undecided as to this one)

                5. Jack Dempsey

                    A Liston - Young Foreman fight would be really interesting.
