    That's highly respectable and accurate. I just can't help but think how much faster Liston looked here compared to his later fights. Liston seemed to retain all his power at 204lb because he bombed out a top 10 guy who had never been stopped before. Perhaps liston was still raw in the skills department, but as far as physical prime goes..I don't think Liston ever looked better than against Bethea.


    Then again..can we make an accurate depiction? Some of Liston's best knockouts against DeJohn, Valdes, and Folley are not on film.:-(
