Not until they actually met in the ring and Liston couldn't believe how big Ali was, this proved to be a huge problem for him with Ali standing 3 inches taller than the formidable Liston.

You make it sound like Sonny Boy never saw or met the 'Draft Dodger' Cassius Clay before they
walked into the Ring in February 1964.

Who are you kidding...........
