braddock easily...

braddock virtually unknown..

ali was a top prospect..

the resume's leading up to these fights explain it..

I say Braddock-Baer but keep in mind that Ali previously was nearly knocked out by Henry Cooper and was also almost beaten by Doug Jones, while Liston was coming off two huge destructions over Patterson. Many people picked Liston to KO Clay in just a couple of rounds at best.

Liston-Clay I by a country mile! What are you guys thinking? Baer was one of the worst heavyweight champions of all-time, while Sonny Liston seemed to be a lock for a top 2 or even top 1 spot before fighting Clay. Braddock may have lost a few, but he was entering his prime and had new life since his hand injuries healed and he was punching harder than ever.
