    He survived a prime Joe Louis, losing a decision but getting stopped later on. Pastor was about the equal of Machen in size and ability. Machen survived the distance with a prime Liston. So what are Bob Pastor's odds of lasting the distance vs the Liston of 1958-59? Or could Pastor even pull an upset?

    There’s a good chance he could if he fights solely to survive

    If he jumps in his bycicle and runs non stop 15 rounds.
    Difficult but possible.

    This … replay of Machen, IMO.
