    I doubt it.
    "If they want to see the execution of Max Baer it will cost them more than fifty bucks a seat!"

    He would keep walking into Liston's jab and right cross. Liston is the superior boxer and has a lot of power himself. Liston wins a decision or stops him.

    Currently reading a Max Baer book...still picking Liston but I’m not confident about it. Especially if it’s a brawl. Baer beat some good boxers at his best but had problems with men he should have beaten so who knows what Baer shows up? Some mentioned Max pulling a quit job...they’re both kind of guilty of that when propped against really fast people. But Liston isn’t fast and Baer is only fast in spurts. picking Liston based on his stamina. Think he would tire the Baer and win a decision.

    I favor sonny. I just think that 81” inch reach with that hard sharp jab behind it would tear Max up especially given Baer’s Poor defense and tendency to leave himself wide open.

    There’s a huge skill gap here.
    Liston decimates him.

    Aren't you the same person who said Liston would Lose to an old, bald, fat, Rocky in 1960 while in his prime himself? :lol: I don't think you're to high on credibility.
