    In general I think Tyson gets rated too highly....but in this case I have a hard time seeing Louis being able to deal with a 1988 Tyson just because of the size difference. But it would be a hell of a fight wouldn't it?

    He also said, he'd be terrified of Liston...

    Louis was BY FAR a better finisher. Had by far more stamina than Tyson. Tyson probably had less stamina than even young Foreman. He had more heart, better recuperative skills. Had a HUGE stylistic advantage. I also disagree he had a better defense. Louis put up combos much better as well.
