By the time frazier established himself as a contender in 1967, liston had lost the title and was working his way back to another title shot. i would have like to have seen both men enter the WBA tournament. how come liston didnt get invitied?????

Frazier would have defintely won if hey fought round 68 or 69 cause sonny was by far way past his prime now. i wonder thought in their respective primes, who would have won whats ur opinion????

ill post my opinion with detail later

Liston by KO for my money. Maybe Foreman v Frazier 1 is a good pointer to the likely outcome.

Liston would have blasted Frazier had they met at their peak. Too big, too strong a jab. Like the earlier reply says, look at Frazier-Foreman for a guideline.

I liked Frazier - but just think Liston would have had all the physical advantages at their respective peaks.
