    You obviously know nothing about Liston.

    The same way Cunningham and Usyk(light hitting Cruiserweights) dropped Fury, by punching him in the face and watching him hurt and staggered. Someone with a bit more power would of stopped Fury and that's why I think Liston KO's Fury every time.

    Sonny finish's what Wilder couldn't and wins two nil and no need for trilogy

    I think Sonny Liston wins most times against Tyson Fury, so I will say Sonny wins 2 of the 3 encounters.

    Fury has a whopping 1in reach advantage on Liston 85 vs 84, and Liston has one of the goat heavyweight jabs

    Liston is one of the few boxers over whom Fury would not have a reach advantage (or would have a very small advantage).
    Liston is a tougher puncher than Fury, and IMHO he has an advantage in technique.
    Fury is too tall (he has a high center of gravity) and I think he would go down many times in three fights with Liston.
    I don't mean the falls when Fury is really injured (as in the case with Wilder), but the falls when Cunningham, Pajkic and Ngannou were knocking him down.
    That's why I think Liston would win all three fights (at least on points).
