    Liston wasn't used to being bullied around. Foreman would be too much.
    yea,,,Im surprised how many people pick liston. liston was a beast but foreman was an absolute monster. it was slick movers that always befuddled george. liston would get stopped

      I guess it's hard to look past what appears to be so fundamental which is Liston's jab which is probably as heavy as a typical hard right..

        I know all about listons jab. foreman also had a pole of a jab altho he didnt use it as consistently as liston. I could see liston giving foreman problems with it but sooner or later big george connects and liston goes down. liston was too tough a man to move away from foreman and nobody beats a prime foreman by going man to man

          liston was a pretty patient boxer in addition to being a "destroyer".

          i can see him winning a decision, or stopping georgelate.
