I'd have to go with Vitali. Liston would be the kind of fighter Vitali does well against, quite slow, not the best footwork, and quite a poor defence. Vitali would have a significant height advantage, where as Liston has the longer reach. If Liston had quicker hands I'd say he could use his long reach to beat Kiltschko to the jab, but I just think the majority of the advantages are with Vitali in this match up

Sonny Liston in his prime, prior to the Clay/Ali fights was a monster. 84" reach and arguebley the hardest jab ever in the heavyweight division. Holmes might have been faster, but Liston's KO'd people. Liston would not be afraid of Either of the K brothers and his success would come through against the both of them. Even in his last fight against 6'5" Chuck Wepner, when he was way past 40 years old, he gave poor chuck 72 stitches, a cracked cheekbone. Wepner said this was his toughest fight ever and he was in shock for two days. Liston was way too good, fearsome, unafraid and a monster hitter to worry about either of the K's

Klitschko, if healthy, would be too much for Liston with his height and reach.
