Prime Sonny Liston vs Wladimir Klitschko

As much as I hate to admit it Wlad would beat Liston IMO, it would be a jabbing game and Wlad would come out victorious and probably even KO Sonny.

oh and wlad is in his prime now so it's todays Wlad vs prime liston

Wlad is forced to take a nap after the first jab.

Sonny. Prime Sonny would have been way to strong for Wlad. HE would have eventually landed a bomb and then its over. Sonny KO within 8 rounds.

one shot from liston and wlad is out

liston wasnt even that slow either, and knew how to set up shots with his jab, and wlad is a big target and has no foot movement

Yeah, Wlad is a good champion but he is no Ali. He doesn't have anywhere near the movement required to be effective against Sonny. Factor in that Wlad has a suspect chin and stylistically it is a terrible matchup for Wladimir. I would literally have given him a less than 5% chance in that fight, and I am a fan of Wlad.

Sonny takes it, might not be as tall but he has longer arms and a great jab. He could hit like a truck and if one of those bombs detonated on Wlad's face then it's game over.

How about Vitaly and his chin. I think Vitaly handles him well very well.

Yea I think Liston would wallop Wlad honestly. Liston by decision though. solid decision of course.
