    I'd pick Louis over Liston H2H, but I'm not saying it's far fetched that Liston would beat Louis. I do think that if Louis won, he might have to get off the canvas to do it. I wouldn't say Liston was a better close range combo puncher than Louis, nor did he have faster hands.

    This is the likely scenario and no disrespect to those 2, I'd back them against some modern day heavyweight contenders despite the size difference.

    I agree ....and that's not to be disrespectful to Charles and Walcott. I'd back them against a lot of modern day heavyweight contenders.

    How important is that wig? Reliable during winter winds? Placement kept when vacationing in the Bahama seas? Can sweat make it smell extremely pungent?

    These are the real questions with real gumption.
