A lot of people think Liston had plodding or cement feet. This video shows that that is clearly not the case.

I watch that video over and over. Especially the shadow boxing,
the way he throws his jab. Didn't Mike Tyson describe Sonny Liston
jumping rope as "orgasmic"?

" This from a guy who spent time with Sonny Liston. It's perfectly apropos that Tyson put orchids on Liston's grave. He worships the notion of Liston, the convict's champion, just as he worships violence or, rather, constantly associates Eros and violence. "Liston is orgasmic," says Tyson, who's watched the old films. "He's someone who just physically destroys you.

liston definitely had good footwork and was a good fighter

"Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield first crossed paths at the 1984
Olympic Trials. At that time Tyson was viewed as a terror and was
having a hard time getting other amateurs to spar with him. Cus
D'Amato, who knew a thing or two about subterfuge, played that out to
it's maximum; he instructed his minions to spread the rumor that Mike
was Sonny Liston's illegitimate son, which wasn't a terribly
outlandish assertion being that Tyson was born in 1966 and Liston
passed away in 1970."
