Please post a description of Liston's basic attributes

[BKM-]

- -Liston was mob backed and Cus didn't want Floyd to fight Mob fighters, hence the popcorn defenses.

No Cus didn't want the gravy-train to halt. He knew Patterson had no shot of beating Sonny so he tried as long as he could to avoid him.

Floyd bless his soul was not a coward like his manager so he faced Sonny anyway. Twice.

Says the one with alcohol dementia and speaking in Koans why U speak in Koans? U dumb? Idiot... Go pull up a thread from the past and argue with a ghost you halfwit.

Holy mackerel

Holy mackerel

I know... I was too generous... Let me amend that from "halfwit" to "quarterwit."

I have this part of me... For the most part I am happy to let people say and do as they want, even when it affects me. But I look at the internet. There is no comupence when someone posts crap. In my hood growing up? if you acted an idiot, you would get beaten down a bit... In academia people would call you on it. I can't grok this notion that anyone can post whatever they want.

Plus he hit hard and had knockout power in both hands. And when he connected, they usually fell. Would've been champ longer if he had gotten a title shot a little sooner.

People also say he was mecurial... he quits one day, fights through a broken jaw the next... But he was always in great shape, and worked hard.

Yeah it wasn't that Cus knew what would happen... Why everything a conspiracy to U? Patterson was a geniune nice guy with talent, and integrity. He wasn't getting past Liston duhhh. Billy Preston wrote a song with no melody and where the good guy wins once in a while... But nobody wanted Liston to beat Patterson up...INCLUDING Kennedy!

- -In my hood we was civilized by professional, intelligent parents enrolling us the finest public school in America.

Now was that Ginsberg, Kerouac, or U candy melting on the pavement?

Where Teensy? Too flimsy these days after his disgraces?

Can U post Engrish! and not in the language of alcohol induced dementia?

- -I speaks in the dumboese dialect for the untutored populating this forum.

U purported education earns the Ginsbergese dialect.

I am so sick of that troll Rusty... I mean there has to be a price paid when saying the most ridiculous BS. Lets bring ignorance into the sunlight...

It would be helpful to shut this blowhard up by simply describing what any fan, with moderate knowledge of the sport might describe Sonny Liston's basic approach to boxing. His attributes... why people consider him usually in the top ten or near, of the very best heavy weights, as opposed to Coetze... who apparently is "more physically imposing" to some here.

Powerful and effective jab. I've read where it was described as a "telephone pole" jab. KO Power in both hands and ability to cut off the ring. Cleaned out the top fighters in the heavyweight division prior to fighting Ali.


George Foreman claims that Liston was the only fighter that he ever fought or sparred that didn't back off or back up from him.
