    Hmm, tough fight to pick..
    I will go with Liston, i think that his jab and power would be enough to keep Frazier away, i also think that he is tough enough to survive Frazier's relentless attacks..
    I predict a competetive fight with a few knockdowns on both sides, it ends with a stoppage victory for Liston (round 13-15) or a close decision..

    this is a pick em...early route i go with Liston, the further it goes Joe is gonna start smoking and work Liston over....even though Frazier is 3 inches shorter he may be the same weight give or take 5 pounds and has better stamina and a good chin.....if Frazier gets out of the first 4 rounds he is good because by that time he has adjusted and tasted the best Sonny has to offer.....But for my money I go with Liston....His Jab reach and uppercuts would trouble a churning Joe working his way inside

    Tough to pick, but I'll go with Frazier; though, I may be picking him due to having early memories of Frazier, thus the nostalgia influence.

    Sonny is marginally.

    Sonny wins by early KO or gets smoked late. SLight edge to Sonny, as with Marciano v Liston.

    I think most are underrating Frazier.
