    I'm thinking Liston's jab would be too much for Baer to handle, although Primo had a rangey jab, but not as aggressive as Liston. Could be a KO along the way anywhere for either. People mentioned Liston and his intimidation, what about Baer and his mouth that might get to Liston.
    I'll go with 9th round tko for Liston.

    Honest question; if you had to place a bet on Liston-Marciano in 1960, who would you put your money on? Their is only one right answer. Anyone saying otherwise is lying.

    Anything is possible but their is a difference between acknowledging a slight possibility and outright favoring a fat, old, bald fighter over a decade past his peak against a fighter in the prime of his career. It's ridiculous and quite honestly laughable.
