    I think Liston would win quite handily.

    He was not open to counterpunching in the same way that Foreman was. He was more like Lyle stylisticaly.

    In fact Lyle is the poor mans Liston.

    Liston would kayo Lyle in around five rounds.He wouldn't be able to intimidate him, so it would take awhile.
