    Like Titan1 said, I think Liston stops him but no knockdowns. Ref takes pity on the helps McCall who is being beaten in a corner or on the ropes.

    Liston TKO. In the modern day it would be halted by the ref. Fifty years ago it may not have been halted... I shudder to think. And I don't like to say things like that. Liston TKO.

    Are you mentally defective? This is like the fifth or sixth time you've said this to me in a thread and I still don't know what you mean. If you have a point to debate with me then debate it.

    How the hell do people make Liston stop one of the most iron jawd HW of all times, when Liston himself fought like 4 men in the weight class of a atomic bull? Because Patterson is comparable in durability to an Atomic Bull?

    This one will end in a Machen² for Liston, and like LaMotta said, Liston better protects his chin in a long night, cause McCall had some bigger hands than this little 50/60s guys....

    Liston KO by 10 count 5 rds at most. Afterwards mccall says tyson hits like a woman compared to Sonny boy. You 80s and 90s heavyweight ball lickers are pathetic.

    If you want to see IN DETAIL why Liston "the knockout artist" doesn´t hold up with what Mike Tyson did, watch this thread.

    https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/rate-mike-tyson-with-another-resume.603860/

    And compare it with fighters Tyson actually beat and how he did it. Its astonishing how thin Listons resume realy is, and how less KOs appear compared to Tyson or George Foreman.
