    Sonny Liston vs Michael Moorer, Both Prime. Could the Bear defeat Michael easily? Or would Sonny lose on points?

    Moorer trades with him for a couple rounds, but the Hammer pounds him into the floor by round 3.

    Liston within six. Prime version would be way to busy for Moorer and he’d eventually catch him

    Good fight for a while at their respective peaks. But Sonny Liston had that very awesome left jab that could give an opponent whiplash. Michael Moorer was very troublesome with his right jab, but Sonny would begin to tag Moorer with his right hand, hurt him and kayo Michael in round 8

    I think this is a mismatch in favor of Sonny
