Who you got and how???

Similar size in weight and agressive styles. Similar intimidation factors and power. How do you see this playing out???

I got Tyson by TKO. This would be one hell of a fight.

MANIAC310

Tyson KO in 2

Barnburner

Liston TKO8.

I don't think they have similar styles at all nor builds.

Liston had an 84 inch reach to Tyson's 72 or something.

Sonny Liston and Mike Tyson do not have similar styles.

this is much worse.

at least tyson and frazier were both small fighters with short reaches who were aggressive.

Liston had an 84 inch reach, and was a boxer puncher with a great jab.

lmfao at those 2 having similar style.

tyson was more similar to patterson.

both cus d'amato fighters.

tyson is bulkier than patterson and is more durable but i like liston's chances.

liston had one of the best hooks ever along with his even more famous jab with a reach longer than the klitschkos.

and phantom punch aside, liston had a great beard.

i like liston over guys who would come right at him.

tyson, frazier, marciano, etc. would have all lost to big bad sonny.

now young foreman vs. prime liston.......

Alx.

really hard to say, they did not share similar styles.... or frame lol but i'll go with liston by tko

I agree entirely.

I think Liston's a nightmare for guys like that.

Foreman-Liston would be the best, that's a great fight. I still favour Liston, just as he's more skilled and the better boxer IMO.

Foreman said Liston's the only man to ever back him up in sparring. Of course it's only sparring but still, something to consider.
