    Watching Moore/Ali as I type this. Sonny Liston walks into the ring pre-fight. Nice suit on, huge smile. Looks legitimately happy. Shakes Clay and Moore's hands and then promptly leaves the ring.

    So, how does Moore vs. Liston play out? Moore was still extremely capable while Liston was champ.

    Thoughts?

    Moore was all but shot BY 1962. Ali manhandled Moore. Liston brutal KO.

    Jesus Christ, Moore has NO chance against the Sonny Liston from 1959 to 1963......... Liston by KTFO!

    Ol' Archie was great. However, yes, by '62, Clay toyed with Moore for 4 rds.... It was ugly, too.....

    The Moore who was crushed by Clay would be crushed even faster by Liston, I'd say. You'd need a 1951-1956 Moore if you want him to stand any chance.
