I need to think about this before I vote.

Liston's reach to beat Tyson's speed.

The jab decides this fight.

Liston.

Tyson for me on this one.

At the risk of offending most of the BOTP Forum. Tyson by manslaughter in about 4

Out of 10 trys to get inside, how many times do you think he passes Liston's jab?

[Seamus]

Prime Tyson had some of the best head movement in HW history.

[Jaywheel]

Tillis and Tucker took prime Tyson the distance but Liston is manslaughtered in 4? Tyson has the punch, that's for sure. There was a chance for him to win KO1 over Lewis had he connected... But the most-likely scenario for me is Tyson going into a shell after 5 minutes of getting Liston's jabs on the nose.

[Seamus]

And Liston had a few "How'd that happen" bouts with Marshall, Whitehurst, Machen.

[Goodnight, Irene]

It's true, though, that the Liston jab is something Tyson may very well be completely incapable of slipping, or dealing with.
