    Tyson. Why? - Because in his short prime he was an absolute machine.

    Tyson, in his prime he was too fast and explosive for Liston

    Tyson.

    He was bigger, he was faster, and he had a better chin. After all, if Liston got kayoed by Ali in one round, his chin is china. But if he took a dive he's a fraud that lack the fortitude to stand up to a prime Tyson for 12 rounds.

    I agree. A prime Liston had the tools to beat Tyson, and he wouldn't have been intimidated either.

    Liston enjoyed a size advantage over the guys he fought in his time. Tyson despite being a small HW, may actually weigh more than him. On top of that, Tyson just has better everything.

    Tyson.

    Skills kill. Tyson had skill Liston would have given both nuts to gain half of.

    Punchers chance for Liston. Well, Tyson just does not go down with one punch. Or two. Or three. Ask Lennie.
