    Liston would leave Morrison in such bad condition that Sonny's new nickname would be AIDS.

    Liston by a knockout. I see Sonny`s jab actually grinding Tommy down by the mid rounds and the follow up being almost a forgone conclusion. Sonny Liston wasn't unbeatable as we know but he lost his title to the greatest heavyweight of all time. It was the way he lost that hurts him the most. With that said just about any other heavyweight in history would have lost his title to Clay/Ali at that time.

    Sonny Liston by KO 5, Tommy Morrison would have his moments, but it does not matter who you fight, you can only fight what is in front of you. Boxing was not invented in the era of the Steroid Bunch. This is the Classic Forum, not The General Forum.

    Nope, sorry. Try again.

    Morrison beat Foreman.

    Who did Liston beat that was even in the same dialling code as Foreman? Liston's two best wins were guys with chins made from papier mache. A stiff breeze could blow over Patterson and Williams.

    Liston destroys "The Duke" in a similar fashion to his demolitions of Floyd Patterson.

    Similar to Mercer's fight, Tommy would look good for the first 3 or 4 rounds, then he gets Knocked out.
