Liston KO1 Wlad

I think Sonny would catch Lennox, but if he didn't Lewis would probably take a decision. Forced to decide I'll take Liston KO3

Bowe is the toughest style match up for Liston. Of course that can be said for most Heavyweights. Still lean towards Liston by decision.

So, long story short, Liston goes 3-0. in a series of 10....

Liston 10-0 Wlad
Liston 7-3 LL
Liston 6-4 Bowe

Liston takes a while to catch the current safety first Wlad. Liston KO 9.
Liston KO 6 Lewis, as Lewis is more willing to trade.
Liston UD Bowe.

Not sure about Saad's KO1 (could happen though) but I agree that Sonny takes it 3-0

Sonny would smash Wlad to pieces be a thing of beauty it would.

Lennox would beat Liston, his chin in underated and he has the temperment and skill to do it.

Riddock could beat Lison, he has the skill, whether or not he has the chin I don't Know.

But please Wlad :OhYes: :OhYes: :OhYes: he would get ko'd in one.

Bowe had a much better chin than Lewis. The shots he withstood (for the most part) in his rematch with Golota would have ironed out Lewis in an instant.

Either way, neither Bowe nor Lewis would stand upto repeated clean blows from Liston. Hit properly, Klitschko might actually evaporate into dust, carried off into the winds & scattered like ashes.
