Would Listons Advantages in Strength and Reach Be enough to Handle Louis Advantages in Speed Accuracy and Defense??

The First few rounds are close Liston is able to Put Joe down in the early going By the mid rounds Joe is starting to get the better of the exchanges As he hits Liston to the body and head Feeling he is behind the scorecards Liston starts to fight more aggressive In the late rounds By the time He fires a Punch He is getting hit with 3-4 Punch Combinations Louis By Late KO/TKO

Louis by knockout...sometime around the fifth, or sixth round.

Peak Louis by points or late k.o ,but shaken and badly stirred! If Schmeling and Galento ,Walcott ect can drop Joe so can Sonny!

Liston by ko... simply hit too hard for Louis and his jab would trouble Louis too...

Silk you don't think Joe's jab would trouble Liston as Well? Hows he going to react When his in their with someone that Hits almost as hard as him has much better handspeed Defense and Accuracy? Liston would give him some problems but not enough To make me think Liston wins by KO :x

A very tough one to pick. I like Sonny within 5 rounds. If Joe can get by 5, he can win. Could he get by 5 with Sonny? Both guys were great finishers, none better than Louis. If either guy hurt the other, they could end the fight. Joe was not a great mover, so it would be difficult for him.
I think Sonny would hurt Joe within those 5 rounds, & would win it.
