    that's not the point.

    byrd beat tua with movement , speed and his defense.



    liston wouldn't fight tua that way. he could but he won't.

    liston would have eventually slugged it out with tua. giving tua a chance.



    just because a fighter is better doesn't mean he automatically wins. styles makes fights.

      there's a reason lennox didn't get a bowe fight and didn't get a holyfield or tyson fight 'til late.

      it wasn't lewis. i'll tell you that much.
      Alright, no problem with that, thanks. It made me think that Lewis WAS that good at the time, the HW division was crowded also. Good times.

          don't blame tyson and holyfield either.

          after how lewis destroyed golota in 1 , would you want to fight lennox until you had no other choice?

          lewis was a beast.

          he became boring after he got with steward.

          emmanuel steward with lewis and wlad destroyed the heavyweight division.

            2nd rate tyson?

            he is nothing like tyson.

            how the hell can he be compared to tyson?



            just because he's short and has power doesn't mean he's anything like tyson.

              right, and tuas style is all wrong for liston.
              tua never demolished an ATG like liston did, this fight is no match for him.
              who did tua ever beat to deserve the honor to be compared to liston ?

                no one is comparing tua's rankings and greatness to liston's.

                we're comparing a fight between the two.

                just because liston is the greater fighter doesn't mean tua has no chance.



                take the packers who won all those nfl championships with lombardi.

                put them up against the detroit lions of last year and see what happens.



                tua is a small heavyweight in his era fighting super heavyweights.

                liston was a big heavyweight in his era fighting guys who would be light heavyweights nowadays.

                hell liston would be at cruiserweight if he was fighting now.

                  bad matchup for amare.
                  When Suns played Lakers last, Amare scored 26 on 11-17. But the rest of the Suns ******(J.Richardson 1-6, Channing Fry 5-16)

                  Gasol had 13 points and Odom scored 9. Kobe of course had 34.

                  Sorry man, back to the Tua!

                      tua is a small heavyweight in his era fighting super heavyweights.

                      liston was a big heavyweight in his era fighting guys who would be light heavyweights nowadays.

                      hell liston would be at cruiserweight if he was fighting now.

                      liston weighed 215LBS against patterson and folley, u r starting to talk out of your ass now.
                      just because tua was a fat 250LBS egg roll, doesnt mean he was bigger than liston.
                      liston had a 16" reach advantage over tua.
                      tua lost to a bum like byrd who wouldnt make more than 2rounds against liston.
                      liston had the better jab, better left hook, better overhand right, he did everything better than tua.
                      the biggest accomplishment in tuas career was going to distance with lennox like u said, the only argument why sonny liston couldnt ko him.
                      that means ray marcer also would have a great chance against liston right, pathetic
