@Glitch_Spawn: How? Liston had an 84 inch reach and the most powerful jab in Boxing, and great Boxing-Punching skills.

I'm on the fence with this one but I'm going to have to go with Liston. 6" advantage in reach plus his record is a little more impressive. Have to be honest though and state I haven't seen many of his fights.

Liston's only losses were when he was still green (and suffered an injury), against the greatest HW boxer of all time, and one towards the end of his career when he's passed his prime. That shows his quality as a boxer. More power, more skill. I pick him in this fight. I would have to give higher smarts to Evander. But I don't think that would be enough for him to win this. Good match btw.
