    Ah yes,that fight.Liston,while still a novice ( it was only his 8th professional fight ) showed immense heart
    while battling through to the bitter end,with a broken jaw.

    Ruiz had equal or better technical skill than Liston ? At what ? Pie eating ?

    Listons ranked opponents were generally not heavyweights by today's standards. He won the title from a guy the size of Bivol. Isn't his lack of heavyweight opponents at least as much a problem for him here as Ruiz is for Joshua?

    Zech was a legit heavyweight. Williams was a big cruiserweight with KO power.
