A prime Liston VS prime Frazier is a draw IMO. Frazier would keep coming forward, bobbing a weaving, I can't see Listons jab hurting Fraziers mobile head. When Frazier catches Liston with a clean left hook, Liston would never have felt anything like that before. But I feel Listons power will get him places, and he took Cleveland Williams best shots before aswell.
I can see Foreman beating him. If they were to fight, it would be a slugfest, and I don't think anyone beats Foreman in a slugfest. Though if Liston takes a different plan and stays on the outside with the jab, he can hit Foremans immobile head. Before Ali-Liston 2, Liston was never down and Foreman was only ever down twice in 80 fights, hard to decide!
Liston-Holyfield would be a great fight IMO, can't split the two.
As a professional, Foreman was down four times, not two. He was floored twice in the one fight, if that's what you're thinking of.
Whilst Frazier was past prime against Foreman I don't think Liston is a good match up for him. When a fight turns into a slugfest I'm backing Liston, he is going to struggle againt fighters like Tunney. With that jab there arn't too many I'd be confident putting too much money on v Liston
