    The prime Liston wins this fight. Savon was a mature professional fighting much younger amateurs.

    To claim the Olympic boxers from Cuba were amateurs is to ignore the facts.

    Savon may have dominated amateur boxing but he would not do well against professionals with the experience and skills they developed.

    Savon was too brave for his own good, Liston would have KOed Felix inside of three rounds.
