Both Patterson fights, Machen, Williams, Harris, Folley. There are plenty of Liston fights out there.

Liston had one of the best Jabs of all time. He hit like a muel, and when he wanted to be was a good techincal fighter, and also had a sound chin in his best days.

You left out that he cleared out the all the top fighters at heavyweight before being given his shot at the title. He should have been champion AT LEAST two years earlier.

Liston vs

Mederos
Bethea
Whitehurst II
Williams I & II
Besmanoff
Harris
Machen
Patterson I & II
Westphal
Ali I & II
Zech
Johnson
Bailey
Rush
McMurray
Joiner
Clark
Lincoln
Johnson
Martin
Wepner

There's possibly more. The Folley fight was never filmed, unfortunately. Mederos was Liston's first filmed fight. Nearly all of his late career bouts were filmed.

I could have sworn I saw that fight on ESPN classic sometime back, but it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong or mistaken.
