    Yes Liston would KO Buddy Baer in 9. I agree.

    It's only 1 less round than it took Douglas, certainly not hard to believe.

    Liston was never that quick or mobile.

    No but he brought other tools to the table, including a ramrod jab. He also wouldn't need to be as mobile as Douglas as he fights completely differently.

    Yes, but imagining myself as a heavyweight contender is an exercise is non-reality. The premise is complete make-believe to start with.

    So, why imagine myself as an intimidated heavyweight contender ?
    I might as well imagine me as myself.
    And in that case, they'd both scare the **** out of me.
