I think you're underselling Liston a bit here. Sonny's jab was insanely powerful and accurate, and I think it would keep Tyson at bay for several...
I've been back-and-forth regarding the outcome of this fantasy fight for years, but right now I think Tyson wins via a late-round TKO. Liston...

[MEDIA] I personally prefer this call over the HBO team's. Alex Wallau's voice breaking really puts over the shock and awe of Richard Steele's...
