    Floyd Patterson vs Floyd Mayweather. Who is the better Floyd? Which one makes better fights? Everyone who haven't watched Floyd Patterson fights, I recommend to watch the Patterson-Ingemar Johansson trilogy.

    Ali said Patterson was the best boxer he ever faced.

    On a p4p basis it has to be Patterson, but Floyd is one of the greatest welterweights ever

    No he's not.

    He's one of the greatest 130 lb. fighters ever but 147 is so deep in history and Mayweather was better at lower weights.

    What is your basis for this? Floyd is certainly the better of the two.

    Can't compare the two. Patterson was a heavyweight, which has no catchweight nonsense. Although Mayweather is very skilled he almost always had the reach advantage in his fights.

    You don't just compare a decent cycler to Lance Armstrong and say Lance was better. Patterson isn't the better boxer here, he's the only boxer. It's an insult to him putting his name next to a filthy cheater.
