    I would say Tyson,although I will qualify that by saying that I was around and witnessed Tyson coming up. Liston was before my time,so its a little hard to judge. The 1987-88 Tyson was just awsome. Movement,speed,power,timing. The guy was amazing,had everything including a similar fear factor to Liston.

    In short,I think only a handful of heavyweights in history would have been able to live with that,and Liston isnt one of them IMO.

          The fight is about, how long can Liston withstand Mike Tyson's power? Because Tyson is hitting Liston.

          Sonny Liston had great jab, and he hit extremely hard. In order for him to win, he will have to survive the opening biltz.

          But with a 80's or even early 90's Mike Tyson, he opening biltz did not really end after the opening rounds 'Check the Razor Ruddock fights'.

          I think Mike Tyson would win, it would be competitive while it lasted.

          Good fight.

            I think Liston is historically underrated. There is a chance he could get blitzed early by Tyson, Mike was so dangerous in those first few rounds, his speed was difficult to adjust to early, but my pick is Liston by late stoppage. Once the pace slowed Liston would take over

              Your pick is a man who was slow and easy to read which never gave Mike trouble your odd mike destroys him watch matches cause that pick makes no sense its fact Mike would win

                  I'm an Official Tyson Fanboy but I honestly believe that Liston and Foreman were all wrong for him, based on Patterson vs Liston and Frazier vs Foreman.
                  I also suspect Witherspoon would've caused him some problems.

                    both son and george was both slow and easy to read how is that wrong for mike you idiot stop see how repeating dumb quotes other dummies use makes you look like a idiot

                    The person who beat george who fought somewhat like mike beat george left him out you crazy dummies always do

                    The person who fought like son named sam lost to mike see how not watching matches exposes you

                    Mike was wrong for them he destroyed those types he beat a pusher like george named Trevor

                    He beat Smith a better tech slugger then george and had more speed and was close range which would be harder for mike to avoid shots using logic but he had trouble

                    Why would george beat mike when he was slower then both Trevor and razor and had no defense

                    Why would son who was easier to read then george land on mike when he was also slower then both Trevor and razor

                    u followers need to stop repeating these dumb old quotes that's been exposed years ago we have vid idiot

                    Watch matches instead of exposing yourself dummy.

                    Doesnt matter what your messed up mind thinks from dumb quotes other crazy dummies think on vid mike showed he destroyed those like son and george like I said
                    Smith? Berbick? And I'm the dummy?
