Prime vs prime,who wins?

Liston would outbox Witherspoon behind the jab.

It would be a classic war with Liston would out-box and out-punch Witherspoon behind his jabs and heavy punches, including his best punch the left hook. "Terrible" Tim would hang in there and took Liston's best shots on his best night and nailed him with his own heavy punches including his best punch an overhand right to make the fight closer. At the end, Liston would land more bombs to either stop him in 13 rounds or a split decision in 15 rounds.

I like Liston in this fight, but it'd probably be a really good fight. I think Liston was tough enough to take Witherspoon's best shots, but he'd definitely eat some nasty ones in there. Overall though I think he's the more skilled operator of the two and that's what would win the fight for him.

I think Liston bombs away here. Sonny by KO in 8/9
