    Inside the ring, Tyson wins. Liston was made to order for him. Not too much movement, hittable. You had to do a lot of moving around to beat a prime Tyson.

    Outside of the ring, I go with Liston. I mean, he broke legs for the mob. He was a union buster. Mike was bad, but not that bad.

    I think TYson was worse outside, I mean he only tried to rape Teddy Atlas underage Niece and punch old ladies in the face and then robbed them.

    Inside the ring I'll go with Tyson, unless he gets frustrated and tries to chomp on the guys ears.

    I don't know about Liston's antics with the ladies, so point taken. But Tyson robbed ppl when he was younger. As an adult I only know about him beating up that one washed up boxer who was talking trash about him and that incident when he was hyped up on coke or something. There was that one couple who claimed he beat them up, but Mike had witnesses come forward to say he wasn't doing anything but minding his own business. Again, Sonny Liston worked for the MOB and he broke people's legs to keep them from forming a union at Ford.

    The problem with LIston is that he didn't seem like the type that would hit and hold, whereas you need to do that against Tyson. The less holding involved the more oppertunities Tyson has to hit you.

    Tyson is faster and hits harder. Also probably a little harder to hit, and if I had to pick who had the better chin I would be leaning towards Mike in that regard as well.

    I favor a prime Tyson over a prime Liston.
