Liston was actually quick. His footwork, while textbook, was limited. He was always on balance and kept in step, but was confined to his lines. Like a locomotive.
Unlike say, Foreman who could advance at angles and predict his victims intended escape route.
Despite what Billeau Forumstalker says, Liston was terrible at cutting off the ring and too static to handle slippery fighters.
Even Ali struggled to escape him, though, when moving straight back.
