Browsing the Tyson vs Liston thread like I do and read that Tyson only fought "bums" so I thought, how would prime Mike Tyson do vs prime Liston opposition and how would Liston do vs prime Tyson's opposition?
So you have Liston vs the following:
Trevor Berbick
Bonecrusher Smith
Tony Tucker
Tyrell Biggs
Larry Holmes
Tony Tubbs
Pinklon Thomas
Michael Spinks
Frank Bruno
Carl Williams
Buster Douglas
Alex Stewart
Razor Ruddock
And Tyson vs
Wayne Bethea
Albert Westphal
Eddie Machen
Zora Folley
Howard King
Cleveland Williams
Floyd Patterson
Obviously, Liston would struggle a hell of a lot more vs Tyson's opposition than Tyson would vs Liston opposition. It's not even close, actually. Tyson stops many of the above named in 1 round.
