Sonny Liston vs Bob Satterfield

[uncle ben]

Who you got??

Satterfield looks good - have seen little footage of him and surprisingly read even less.

In video, anyone have a clue who the very last Satterfield KD victim is? (It is repeated in slow mo and is the last highlight before switch to Liston.)

Tall thin Black fighter in white trunks. I feel like I should recognize him.

No opinion, I think fantasy fights are eh!

But I love the highlights they make avaiable.

Mythical match ups are the best part of boxing to me, a sport where people of lower than average intelligence pound on each other, and the people watching can't be too much smarter. If you bought Brook/Kahn, you are dumber than the average boxer. Can you imagine people thinking Mike Tyson is intelligent just because he is talking to them from a loose script in a documentary?

Other than Bobby Czyz, boxers are not known for brains. In fact, Czyz was not either, it was merely advertised that he was a MENSA member. He was known for pounding on people. He had a quick way with the word. Now he is a grocery clerk, which there is no shame in.

Sorry, folks, but if we took the IQ scores of all boxers and averaged them together, the average would surely be less than 100. Now boxing posters might average 100. Maybe.

Wasn't Satterfield glass-jawed?

If I had to grab a fighter quick for least brains, I am probably grabbing Teofimo Lopez in a hurry, the guy you just love to see face-down, piss dribbling from the corner of his trunks. Or does he merely act ******?

Satterfield had a glass jaw. He was a decent fighter and had brutal punching power, but Liston would test that chin and Bob would fail the test.

That is what I thought. No glass chin could ever beat Sonny.

Same thing I was thinking.

[Willow The Wisp]

Lost my interest here.

[The Old LefHook]

Why would anyone think Satterfield would have a chance? Why even propose the match? When you put Tommy Hearns against Tyson you already know who will win.

Satterfield scored a bunch of 1st round KOs with his dynamite power, but suffered multiple ones himself courtesy of his fine crystal chin. Liston by 1st round KO. Satterfield isn't in Liston's league.
