    Tokyo James Buster Douglas vs Prime Sonny Liston, 15 Rounds. Could Douglas counter punch a prime Liston, 1958-1963 to score a stoppage? Or would Sonny score a knockout early?

    Douglas would have a chance at winning this if he stayed vertical. He most likely wouldn't though.

    Listons jab is better, he's longer, stronger, tougher and a better boxer than douglass. Liston KO

    I don’t think Liston was a better boxer, but everything else seems right so I’d also go with Liston by ko

    I'll take Sonny over a "one night stand" fighter.

    I’ll take Douglas - bigger and much faster hands. Good fight
