Liston was nowhere near what this section makes him out to be. I know that makes me some sort of heretic, but I trust my eyes more than a bunch of poorly written revisionist history.
Sad that you would say that about Vitali's education though, I mean it really has nothing to do with the thread. I meant Vitali is smarter in the ring.
But while we're at it, he's obviously more intelligent outside of it too. You can tell by the way he speaks (more than one language) and by the way he carries himself.
Liston by all accounts was a surly **** who could barely write.

Lennox Lewis is one of the great heavyweights of all time. He landed a good shot on Vitali's eye that caused a cut. End of story.
Lennox is 10 times the fighter Liston was in every possible way. Posting that pic is crude attempt at a red herring.

He would walk Liston into traps all night and bust him up badly. I doubt Liston quits before the 5th round.
He quit against Ali who was half the puncher Vitali is. Vitali would also not be intimidated by his bully antics and in fact would bully him and make him his g/f.
Vitali by k.o.
His hands are slow? Well he was a better puncher than Vitaly period...He knocked out guys with a JAB, I dont know if Vitaly can do that. He was a much accurate puncher than Vitaly ever was or ever will be.Even the best of trainers call Vitaly awkward, where do you get the notion he is better puncher than Liston. Hav eyou actually seen Liston box? Or just seen him vs Ali?
Yea an old Liston quit against a young dynamic Ali...not because Ali wa a great puncher, learn your history, because in the first fight he dislocated his shoulder. Even if we suppose he quit, it was because Ali had 10X the speed the robotic Vitally has. If Ali stood and traded with Liston it would have been curtains...Liston knew he could not catch up with Ali at that stage of his career.
By the by , Liston quit against Ali a top 2 ATG ...who did Vitaly quit against...lemme think a top 100 heavy???Last edited by Greatest1942; 09-06-2011, 12:15 PM.
