Description:
Sonny Liston, one of the most feared heavyweights of all time and the original boogey man of boxing against George Foreman who was his apprentice. Both are known for their intimidation, their legendary stare downs, their legendary and crushing jabs and their power in general. They both have a similar style so I thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if Sonny fought against a prime George Foreman since they sparred a lot. They also share some similarities in their personal lives. Both learned boxing late in their life, both had a rough up bringing with both having lived in poverty (Sonny even got whipped every day by his dad on the farm and was forced to become the horse on the field after it died) and both were rather quiet. So I thought it would be a nice idea to pay tribute to both and imagine a dream fight between them. It would be filled with KO shots and surely would not go the full distance. While Foreman had slightly more power and an equal jab to Sonny's with good grappling techniques and tactics for boxing, Sonny could take the better shots and was overall a bit more reserved in terms of stamina and more technical than a prime George Foreman. Both, however you look at it, left a lasting legacy as intimidators in the sport and one of them happens to be one of the my favourite boxers of all time.

I don't know why this took me so long to edit. I had a lot of footage to download. I think in total, I got 38 or 40 videos in total for this one. There are always channels that cover everything in detail but going for extra rare footage was a hell of a task and a lot was privated or in an unusable quality. And something was wrong with the audio mixing which forced me to first delete it (it was unlisted) because I have yet to get my headphones and bluetooth (due to constant volume changing for no reason) is way too unreliable for audio. I think for the next video, I will have to change something about the mixing and editing of the audio before I try to upload. It was overall a great experience though and I extremely am satisfied with the result.
Anyways, enough of that talk. If you want to support me in making better videos in the future, you can considere taking a look at my Patreon but I understand if you don't want to pay for it

Probably the two most intimidating heavyweights of all time. Great video.
Thank you and if you like, you can also join the newely made Discord
Also, I totally agree with you
🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
Goosebumps everytime when Teddy Atlas starts to speak about Liston...watched it meanwhile a dozen times! Really obsessed with this video...Best footage i ever saw about Liston/Foreman with a sophisticated fine background music...
Oh wow. That is a high praise. Thank you. Those are two of my favourite boxers although I have a bias towards Sonny Liston
@@MonkeyDToniProductions Me too! Sonny is my all time favorite, not only because of his boxing talent (which is outstandig), but rather more because of his fascinating aura. A man, who was standing between good and evil...
To me, he was every bit of a misunderstood man. Also, I made a discord server if you are interested
Sorry for my late reply...yes, of course! Those guys in these era of sport in general represents the best athletes of them all...strong, determined, mentally powerful without being hoked by "enhancing medicaments"...real man, real raw power...unbeliavable time!
George does best when he could use his uppercuts and hooks and with Sonny he wouldn’t be able to. Sonny like Ali would cut right through his guard with straight lefts and rights so with that I would have to go with Sonny.
Both would be looking to dominate the jab area and since they have similar styles and know each other well, I think it would be interesting. Both like to use jabs, have great hooks and uppercuts and love to grapple
Thanks so much for all your efforts! It's simply a masterpiece without any doubts...
I am so glad the effort payed off
2 days late but do you mind if I ask you if you would be interested to join this server? It is one I recently made and I would appreciate to hear your answer.

Louis vs Ali is the premier dream fight at HW, but if you asked me the one I’d most like to see, I think it would have to be Liston-Foreman.
I am personally more interested in Liston vs George Foreman since they have similar styles and because one was the apprentice of the other
Charles "Sonny" Liston. Rest in peace champ 🥊
George Foreman took the touch to his era. Mike Tyson to his. However, the original was scarier.
Sonny, the boogeyman of all boogeyman
@@MonkeyDToniProductions I like to call him The Great Grandad of intimidation. As imo he put it out there for real. Rest just tried copy him. It became very watered out.
I still Love the "A man they all feared" video you made.
@@llanero4069 Oh thank you. I personally thought some improvements have been made on that video in this one but I appreciate it. Sonny is one of my favourites of all time alongside Duran and SRR and a huge inspiration to me when it comes to his jab
If you want to join, I made a tiny Discord server. It is bare bones but I hope it can grow and become better over time
