    If he had got his act together, and trained like his life depended upon it, he might just have seen off Clay before he peaked.

    At the very least, it was worth a try!

    It depends upon Liston.

    If he is swilling back whisky the night before the fight, as he actually did before some title fights, then you can't afford that kind of liberty against a fighter like Charles!

    Idk, I think Walcott would have been problematic for Liston. But Liston may end up getting to him.

    Yeah...Liston crushes Ali between 1960-63.

    My granddad always thought Charles would beat Liston.

    I've always thought that Walcott would be a tricky fight for Ali.
