@sma32lofueven the smallest bags wan weigh over 40 kg,the heavy bag for beginners is about 70kg and people like rocky marciano and george foreman used custom made punching bags that weighed 100-120kg.

Don't make this about Ali. Sonny Liston was one of the Top Tier heavyweights and had a rough life. The man was a World Champion 🏆 and people hated him for it even when he wanted to do good. Fck the mainstream media and the public of that time. RIP Sonny Liston

Liston had a rough and horrible life. He started life in the gutter and ended life in the dump. The “mob” exploited him for everything he had, including his integrity as a professional boxer when he went down in the first round in 1965.
One and only thing im truly grateful to UA-cam for is the chance to actually witness legends like sunny liston etc for myself just realising how amazing it is to be able to at any time watch every boxing legend almost right from the start. I watch sunny fights all the time. Unlike ufc etc i can only watch the main events once or twice but boxing i can quite happily watch classic brawls over and over again hooked even though ive watched them over again. Boxing is unbeatable to me i live mma but boxing is ny first true love 🥊❤💪👍
Sonny just started coming around in 1953 not a contender yet and Rocky Marciano said let me just retire 1956 and the word was out Sonny was a fearless knockout artist Rocky 49-0🥊👑🥊👑 may they both RIP 🌹
Sonny was a unit for sure, scary guy, one gentleman that is lost in time who had a hell of a punch for his era was max baer great former world heavyweight champion!!!

There are 2 Things i see for the first time, and that is, This is the first time Muhammad Ali Ever Admitted how he Felt before fighting Heavyweight champion Sonny Liston, And he says he was Scared to Death, Wow, I never thought Muhammad Ali would ever say that. The Other thing is The Actual Size of Sonny Listo,s Hand ✋,,, His Hand's were enormously Big, So Now It kinda figures that Ali had to be Extremely fast and as we've all seen, Muhammad Ali, Was fast and a Brilliant Student of the Fight Sport, He was The Greatest. 🎖️🏆 Muhammad Ali 🙏🌹😅
After the Wepner fight, Liston made a crack about Wepner’s manager being “very brave.” Wepner was big and tough and absolutely without skill. He didn’t even punch that hard. His biggest career win was a questionable decision over a comebacking Ernie Terrell.
When you realise how powerful liston and Foreman were and Ali knocked them both out we realise that Ali would beat Tyson also Ali in his prime was unbeatable
Neither of them was as skilled or as fast as tyson. Plus mikes punch was pretty leathal too. His style is far more remenisant of joe frazier who gave ali all kinds of trouble. Prime tyson beats prime ali for me.
@@tonywilliams7152Tyson got DESTROYED in his Prime by Douglas and Holyfield. Got outboxed by Quick Tillis, got frustrated by Tony Tucker. Tyson in NO WAY compares to Frazier. He's easier to hit than Frazier. He would be Ali's EASIEST opponent. Ali TKO 9.

Your thinking ( here) is flawed and that remains accurate even if your assertion that " Ali would beat Tyson," is an accurate one. This is because of your reliance on the idea that you can evaluate things by taking into account the most apparent variable. This may or may not be accurate. Perhaps you are aware that you oversimplified it, and thought it wouldn't make any difference. Im confident it would of.
I cannot believe the gross width of the holes in your reasoning. Almost anyone who has ever watched the two Liston fights and EVEN MORE SO THE FOREMAN FIGHT, should and most would REALIZE THIS❕ Liston was old and met Ali when Ali was young and quite polished. Foreman beat Ali like a drum and got lost in the epic nature pf the event, causing him to make one of the most ENORMOUS OVERSIGHTS the sport has ever seen. Tyson too showed us just what a single foolish attitude can do even to such a dominant fighter like himself. It is beyond obvious that if George Foreman had not allowed his emotions and the excitement of the night to influence him to push himself forward at too fast and furious of a pace , he certainly would of coasted EASILY TO VICTORY OVER ALI❕
Somebody needs to make a movie on Sonny Liston, along the lines of the movie The Cinderella Man with Russell Crowe and Raging Bull he lived a very interesting and tragic life.

If only he could’ve lived to hear us all. Mega superstar forever ✨💫🥇🏆💕
Liston was awesome. Rip❤
Going 10 rounds with Liston is an insane accomplishment and that means bro had an iron chin
Well, he is the inspiration for the Rocky movie.
It’s sad that I’ve only seen 2 comments mentioning about that guy going 10 rounds with him. And his face was blown up, how tf was he still fighting?
Great chin and even greater drugs
this gave me goosebumbs
Watching this then reading your comment I suddenly got goosebumps
You can hear early signs of Parkinson in Ali speech. So sad what these fighters go through.
