    I have to say this one is an intriguing matchup. Floyd was not exactly a giant killer. I see Willard catching him with an uppercut and stopping him before 15 rounds are over.

    I would have to go with Willard.

    Patterson does not have the power to take him out, or the durability to survive him.

    He will have some good moments, but Willard is going to keep jabbing him, and hitting him with right hands when he tries to come in.

    Ultimately the difference in physical equipment will be too great.

    Willard...only because we never saw Patterson against giants.

    Over 15 rounds? I can't see Patterson taking out Willard.

    Patterson would take him to school and anyone saying otherwise frankly can't visualize a fight

    With all due respect this is one of the most ridiculous threads I've ever seen posted.
