How does Sonny Liston in the 70s?

[billeau2]

wow,,,liston looks every bit as imposing as George in that photo. I thought George would look much bigger in comparison

Liston had about the same "wingspan" as foreman.

That photo is a little deceiving as to size.

Sonny Liston 6' 1" 210-216 lbs
Big George 6' 4" 222-245lbs

Sonny did have a tremendous reach said to be 80" (Ali 6' 3" 81")
Sonny was a hard hitter with both hands and his jab not only set up his punches but it could hurt anyone.
Foreman had heavy hands which means his punches impact lasted longer and the pain went deeper! Foreman could be older than dirt and still hurt someone badly. A punchers punch is the last skill/talent that leaves them.

Actually Sonny had an 84" reach.

And a 15 inch fist. Anyone who doesn't think that is impressive should measure their own fist.

The General corrects what he wants to correct.

And what I've read, his thumbs were so large that they had to order custom-made gloves for him.
