The operative thing here is that Sonny Liston actually WAS what Wilder tried to cosplay, a legitimate badass. (Ergo my comment about Wilder pissing himself when Sonny locks eyes on him during the staredown because that wasn't an act.)
Deontay needs to wear the bells and whistles robot costume in order to try and float his necessary post fight excuse. Sonny was much less flashy - kept it simple - opting for just a few towels under his robe for supplementary intimidation purposes.
The Bronze Burnout is lucky if he makes it past three. I'd give Baer, Ingomar and Jeffries higher odds against the likes of Liston (still unfavorable of course). Liston was spectacular
