    Both never lost to a white boxer.
    Both lost to a former sparring partner.
    Both lost while sitting on a stool.
    Both suffered a broken jaw.

    Liston had an extremely long reach.
    Ali had an extremely big mouth.

    You can rightfully have a big mouth if you can back it up. Ali did exactly that.

    Both had ATG jabs. Different but both great.

    Ali has the best jab in boxing history. Even better than Larry Holmes jab because it was unavoidable.

    Both slaughtered Cleveland Williams, but Liston's two victories were more significant since he fought a nearer to prime, healthy Big Cat, whereas Ali fought a guy with a bullet in him...6 years later.

    Both had a notorious troll start a thread about them (this thread).

    Again, Liston's two wins were more impressive.

    Yeah, Larry's opponents could easily avoid his jab:yep.

    I think the way Ali outclassed Patterson every single round was much more impressive.
