    Liston's jab puts AJ into his shell and then he is methodically dismantled. 6ft1 and 16 stone is big enough to bully anyone. I don't think AJ gets the jump on Liston early and rather worryingly, Liston's trainer once quipped when asked how hard Sonny hit, 'If Charles can touch you, he can hurt you'. Honestly think this is a horrible match up for AJ and I'm not jumping on a revisionist bandwagon here, I have rated and still rate the big guy, just not as highly as others.

    Joshua would be intimidated by Liston who was one of the most intimidating Heavyweights of all time outside of a young Foreman and Tyson. Liston's ATG jab which was 84 inches which is even longer than Joshua's reach would also off set Joshua just like Dubois's jab did.

    Liston by KO in middle rounds.
