    This article has Louis winning via a 12 of 15 round KO with Liston down for a ten count. However, Louis has a close call in the fight with being floored and in trouble twice in the 7th round.

    From reading it, do you find it realistic or what are your thoughts?

    Louis did everything better than Liston. Louis at his best destroys Liston within six rounds.

    Realistic, but there is much that we don't know about Sonny.

    Like? No one knows his date of birth, no one really knows when his prime was, no one knows for sure about what really was behind the two fights with Ali, no one knows if he was mentally stable or not, no one knows if he had underworld influences, or even Black Muslims threats to deal with.,and so, no one really knows for sure how good he really was or wasn't.

    No one really knows if he really ever existed or not-obviously!

    Liston is very capable of knocking Louis out.

    Like Perry says, if you didn't live through it, then you don't know anything about it, whether it really happened or not.

    Louis would destroy Liston's morale. He'd make Liston quit. Can't see Liston hearing the bell for the 15th win or lose.
