Liston had really long arms and if you were strong enough to get inside like Holyfield would be, Liston couldn't get off or use his jab.
Frazier Holyfield would be war, I just give the slight edge to Holyfield.

He would ofcourse beat Patterson
As for the 70's the Frazier fight would be exciting, possible for it to go either way but I've always given a slight edge to Frazier. In a series they may both take some.
I would pick him in a close fight with Norton.
Foreman and Ali would would take him.

with his conditioning I think that he could have been awsome at that time period. Holy was a skilled fighter with strength and would probably have been considered rather big in comparison to the heavies of the time, ofcourse liston is bigger but you know. Holyfield fighting ali, liston, foreman, fraizer, cleveland williams, shavers. Those would have been great fights. Neat idea whoever came up with it............Rockin'

Liston's hooks especailly the left one were devastaing, and he could use them fighting inside to the body and head. Aswell as fighting on the outside.
Liston also had pretty sound defensive skills.
