Nope,Liston at 6'1” ,218 lbs. Was at least as strong as foreman, and was a better boxer. The Ali Liston fought was far faster than the one Frazier met. Liston also had more reach and as much power as Foreman.George sparred with Liston and sayß Liston was the only man that forced him to back up in the ring.

Gerry Cooney would have knocked both of them out, 3rd round at the latest.

Frazier was BLOWN OUT by George Foreman at a time when Foreman's style
emulated Liston's--in fact Liston was Foreman's idol. Liston possessed an
awesome jab, was arguably the hardest puncher of the time, and as PMAD
points out, Joe only knew one way to fight. Frazier had hoped to avenge the
loss later in his career but was again CRUSHED by big George. At least he
lasted a few rounds longer in the second match...Liston by early KO
No disrespect intended, but that is nonsense. Foreman was *way* stronger
than Liston and much heavier.

?? Foreman weighed 220 and Liston 119... Liston far superior at everything including stamina. Liston mops up Foreman in 5
