Liston's punching technique was similar to Ali's, very fast and "flicky", They quickly extended without tensing up until the fist was about to connect. I wish we saw more of that these days...

If Liston didn't have the misfortune to run into 'The Greatest' he would probably have dominated the division until about 1970. We would therefore be talking about him in the same breath as Louis and Marciano. If you read his sad life story you will see that he seldom had lady luck on his side. It's fun but always difficult to compare fighters of different eras. He was a scarey brute and a fearsome puncher.

Even though he whooped my idol twice, I got huge respect for liston. A misunderstood man. May god rest his soul.

@sapling25 tyson would destroy liston??? are you kidding me tyson culdnt even handle holyfield or lewis, the only true contender tyson beat was the aging larry holmes. while sonny in his prime was literary breaking his opponents bones in his matches



@bphatboyjohn123 anyone who said " lewis,vitali and wladimir would destroy a prime sonny liston" knows simply shit about boxing or he is 12. george foreman and ron lyle would strongly disagree with your absurd opinion.

The most bad ass boxer of the 20th Century. When he was on and the fix wasn't, He'd rank among the best ever. He was Iron Mike and Big George combined. And that's saying something!
