Liston took a dive and had to be eliminated before he decided he was screwed. You couldn't have melted Clay and poured him on Liston.

Even the great Howard Cosell took a dive, in the end.

I read an article by Charles Farrell, a former boxing manager, who believes Listin to be the greatest heavyweight in history. But he was so mob connected and threw so many fights (including both Ali fights) that we’ll never know how good he really was.
