    Grant is bigger and was never filmed in black & white film so he would win.

    Exactly. These big athletic heavyweights would have been unbeatable back in the day.

    True, a midget like Liston would have no chance against the likes of Grant.

    Liston looked so impressive knocking out 190 lbs heavyweights that 250 lbs guy would fall just as easily. That's how boxing works.

    Grant's size advantage wouldn't be of much help here. He has a glass jaw and Liston was a heavy puncher who knew how to set his shots up.

    I wouldn't be shocked if Grant went a couple of rounds, but he's getting knocked out anyway.

    I think Liston would beat Grant right now.

    You think his skeleton is that potent?

    Anyway Liston destroys Grant in 1 maybe 2 rounds max.

    Better matchup would be Liston vs Wladimir Klitschko.
