    Liston never liked it when he had to go looking for his opponent, and he wouldn’t have to, ibeabuchi would keep coming and would be getting pummelled over and over again by that Liston jab and would be outboxed and school over the distance

    Liston on points. Ike had the chin, I think, to take the best shots from Sonny.
    Liston by 10 rounds to 5..something like that.

    Hard to call. Ike might blow Liston's chin into a cloud of panco breadcrumbs. Tua's durability Liston has not

    I like the 1960 version of Liston to take decision. His elite jab and 84” reach would be some of the key tools here. Given that Ike survived 12 rounds to beat David Tua, his chin is rather proven.
