Both heavy's known for a "one ton" straight right hand punch. Marciano known for his absolutle "fanatical" traing regiment, iron jaw & heart second to none, retired UNDEFEATED with 49 victories!!! Called the "BROCKTON BLOCKBUSTER", his only known draw back was that he possessed the shortest arm reach in heavy history.Charles "Sonny" Liston, remembered as the most "feared" heavy, indeed man in the world during his brutal career. Strong points were his amazing power in any punch he threw including his left jab. Listons savage/brutal aggresiveness led to more first round ko's vs. percentages of fights than any other heavyweight champion in history. Liston had problems finding sparring partners/victims as so many were seriously injured when engaged with Sonny. More heavys "ducked" him in his rise than all other heavy champs combined. His arm reach was the longest for a heavy champ up thru his time. Sonny's only known draw back, speed! Who would win in their prime?
