Liston was seriously underrated in the power department. He had a better one punch finish than Foreman IMO. Foreman was stronger but Sonny snapped more bodyweight into them. His jab was a force in itself, a downright offensive weapon and perhaps the best the division had seen since Joe Louis. In fact, boxing writers everywhere were comparing him to Louis at the time. Foreman never drew the same comparisons among the press at the time.
Not to turn this into Liston vs. Foreman or anything.
