In that case, he'd be fighting a less technically developed, more hittable version of Liston. Even assuming this Liston would have the mental...
:deal This sums up almost everything I could've said on the subject. Holyfield should simply have too much skill and versatility, and even hit...
How old was Foreman at that time? - 19, 20? Of course a bigger, more experienced ex-champ is going to push around a teenage pro novice. Liston...
A scrawny, fragile LHW busted Liston's jaw and later dropped him, and a limited CW KO'd Liston in 9, blah, blah, blah... See how easy that was....

Why do people simply assume that Tyson's style is ideal for Liston when an equal or greater case can be made that the opposite is true? Tyson...
The same points/arguments could be made about Patterson - maybe Liston simply had his number? Plus Patterson was one of the most maligned HW...

Gene Fullmer claimed he had "dysentery" when he fought Dick Tiger the first time. Now watch the later portion of this video: vSQJmGxzEFs Is...
Would he necessarily need to have Ali's speed? Even if he's not as fast as Ali, he's still relatively nimble for his size, and he's especially...
This is an excellent point IMO. Vitali actually made Lewis look small-ish (or at least, short-ish), and Ali made Liston look small - and it was...
I would argue that that achievement is on par with Vitali stopping Adamek, who was similar size to Bonavena (actually slightly bigger) and had...
