I think Sonny dispatches Mike with relative ease. Liston could easily stand outside and bust up Tysons face with that sledgehammer 84' jab. And if Mike tries to get in close, Sonny is going to make Mike fight going backwards....not a good ending for Ole Iron Mike.
I think, with Tyson's speed and power, and precision, he has more than enough to deal Sonny a loss.Provided his mind is right.
If Liston survives the first two rounds... Tyson will fold like a cheap suit. Mike would be terrified of Liston. That fear could make him sharp as a razor.. for a few rounds. If he fails in those rounds he begins to doubt himself. Liston would then destroy him. Liston was a lot like Tyson, but even he had a better head than Mike, It would take Sonny around 6 rounds before he gave up. Tyson doubts himself first..... Liston KO
Tyson by round 3....... faster, better defense, better head movement, better counters, better pop in his punch. there's no argument at all
il give the same answer as i give to the other countless threads on prime tyson v whoever , its prime tyson every single time , he was just too fast for any one of them .
