On the outside and midrange, Tyson's speed advantage is counteracted by a difference in reach of atleast a foot that favors Liston (People also forget that he actually did have the timing to land on young prime Ali, even in the middle of the ring).

On the inside the bigger man controls it.
Liston about round 7
People forget Liston had won about 3 rounds at the time of the first Ali stoppage.
Tyson could bob n weave much in his prime, making him elusive from Liston's jab, and Tyson's handspeed + power is something Liston never encountered. OTH Liston too a solid punched from Williams and never went down, plus he would have hit harder than anyone Mike met in his prime.
I know the fight wouldn't more than likely go the distance most times, but i'm gonna say it'll be equal.
