Both strong crouching maulers. Likewise Liston vs marciano IMO.
Liston would use his jab but since it was not as fast as Ali's (because it was a diferent type of jab) would'nt he have less sucsess with the jab than Ali says he had with Rocky? IMO I think Liston would use his jab less because he would strugle to find the room and land cleanly with it..

He'd pound Rocky with the jab and once in range he'd pound him with hooks.
Rocky can't beat him outside and I don't fancy him to win the exchanges inside.
Rocky might outlast him in a finish fight but he certainly won't win enough rounds in a 15 round fight. I see no way for him other than to outlast Sonny.
