He probably saw him as a semi-idiot and a big pay check.
I think Ali and Walcott were thrown for a loop because Liston went down a couple of rounds before he was supposed to have. They had this one...

Liston- if you believe the Ali fights were legit, he had a questionable resume. On any given day he could beat anyone h2h.
