    Mike Tyson vs Sonny Liston

    My **** is rising just thinking about this matchup. Who wins this war? Both brawlers, both very, very tough and stylistically, this makes a great fight. Tyson's peak-a-boo stance vs Liston with his laser jab and power punches. Personally, I think Liston wins because they are both going to take shots but Tyson will fold and crumble whenever someone fires back and gives just as good as he takes. What are your thoughts on this dream fight?

      I have never seen Listion except the 2 patterson and Ali fights. But from what I readhe was a bad ass. But he only ever lost to ali and then to some one in his second last fight. I think Tyson would be wining the first couple of rounds till he realized Liston wasnt going anywhere and then Liston takes over its his fight for whenever he wants to end it.

        I think Liston TKO's him no later than round 8. The intimidation factor was always big for mike and sonny wasnt scared of ****. Also he could take a good shot

            liston threw the fight against ali becuase he knew he couldnt beat him.
            if liston comes in confident, he would probably win, he had a strong chin and alot of power
            people discredit him with the way he lost to ali, but this was not the ali who lost to fraizer, it was muhammad at his very best, the best he would ever be

              Tyson wouldn't intimidate or get into Liston's head like he did against the majority of his other oppenents. You take away that advantage, and you get a fighter that is willing to stand in there and fight with Tyson, it can spell lots of problems for even a prime Tyson. With that said, I feel that Tyson would probably dominate the first couple of rds until Liston could establish his telephone pole jab on a steady basis. A prime Tyson was also known to start and wear down a little after about the 7th, so Liston would take this fight in the later rds.

                  Yeah but what fighter have you seen last while brawling with Prime Tyson? Remember when Reggie Gross threw back at Tyson? He got KTFO with a brutal left hook

                    Are you really trying to compare Liston to Reddie Gross?
