Liston would be a top fighter, however, he wouldn't enjoy the size advantage he did in his time. Liston at 6'1 210-215 pounds in his prime, was considered a giant in his time, but would be dwarfed by guys like Bruno or Ruddock or Bowe. But his physical strength and punching power is likely on par with those guys. He and Holyfield would have a tear up
Foreman said that Liston was the only boxer ever to have the strength and ability to push him back and force him to fight on the back-foot. And Foreman is a tank of a HW. Liston would defo be competitive in the 1990s, and probably a champion at somepoint - I think he would probably out-brawl and beat Holyfield and post-prison Tyson. Bowe and Lennox are tricky for Liston IMO.
