What happened in the real world was that Patterson had a weaker list of potential challengers to choose from, and he avoided the more dangerous ones. He also had a few wobbles along the way, which included some losses. I doubt that he manages a clean run against this crop, assuming that he gets there in the first place.
The biggest threat to Patterson might actually come when he challenges Walcott for the title. I think it is very likely that Walcott takes him out. Obviously in that scenario he doesn’t get very far.
Stylistically, the shopworn, ancient Walcott is his easiest match-up. I see both fights ending before the 4th and frankly the first fight to be a career ender for Walcott. Patterson's power was closer to Marciano's than most will admit and Patterson got there a lot quicker and could double and triple up faster. Patterson runs the table and breaks only a modest sweat.
He isnt challenging Walcott for the title,this is the Walcott who was kod in1 rd by Marciano. See "Challengers " in the title of the thread.
I think only Charles of the first Marciano fight can be given a 50/50 chance. Against that version of Moore ,I would make Floyd a 60/40 favourite.
It's puzzled me as well mate! I'm not sure what i wanted to say, whether i was attempting to be witty or whether i actually felt that way about a certain matchup. I'm just gonna chalk it up as an L lol
