Old, ill prepared Liston was close to knocking out Ali, according to Ali's own words Prime Liston would have knocked him out
Larry would make them all look silly. UD or KO
Granted, it isn't nice to ask trick questions.:) I'd favor that version of Sonny against all, including prime Ali, Lewis, Foreman, Frazier and...
I will tell you what the Rock can do in this matchup. Lose. And Lose Badly!

To answer OPs question, Baer is an ATG
If Baer never lost his early focus, he could have beaten Louis, destroyed his confidence and been the long reigning Champ he should have been
Liston in top form has the tools to beat any champion. Not saying he would every time but he is a head to head monster.
No. I'm taking a prime Liston or Lewis over him. (Just off the top of my head)
Who takes this and why? Liston of mid - late 50s vs Fury. I've go Liston breaking him down within 5-7 rounds.
Rooney was also a clown It's too bad Tyson and Rooney couldn't keep their heads screwed on straight. They had a good thing going
What was he supposed to do, take a dive? That whole thing was / is stupid. Ali is to blame for putting himself in there.
Liston by devastating KO
If Rocky was 7ft tall with a 90 inch reach..... Then he would be somebody else
Imagine a prime Baer who developed his jab and defense Foreman level power *and greater mobility. Would have been unreal.
