some guy named leotis martin (might be wrong on the name, going by memory) knocked him COLD with a right hand very late in his career. I remember George Foreman describing how crushed and depressed Liston was after that fight.

As far as Liston vs Tyson... I'll go with Tyson by stoppage in the mid to later rounds. I think Liston's jab and reach would give Tyson big problems early, but I think Tyson, who had a great chin and was tough, wwould continue putting the pressure and ripping hard shots and Liston would eventually succumb
