    Either way it's a great fight... I think the Holyfield of the Cooper era could win because he was very quick-fisted and speed was always what troubled Liston

    Lewis-era Holyfield is too easy to hit, I think... I like Liston in that one with that long, thudding jab... Liston had the reach of a man half a foot taller... 84 inches... That's why, despite his being only modestly sized by the standards of later heavyweights, I'm always hesitant to just blindly say "yeah, he's too small" the way you would with say Rocky Marciano
