    No, not that Mike.....but Mike Weaver. Could Floyd Patterson get past the punching power of the great Mike Weaver? Weaver could hit.

    Weaver wasn't a particularly good boxer but had a tendency to come back later in the bout while conceding earlier rounds easily. Patterson however was not a puncher who would lose steam easily with each passing round. I think Patterson takes this.

    I think Patterson had pretty good punching power

    I give the nod to Patterson in this one.
    However I feel kind of uncomfortable remembering what a jelly chin Patterson had.
    After all if Ingo dropped him seven times ...

    I had to re-read the thread title, after seeing the OP, because my brain said that you definitely said 'Tyson' in the title. But you didn't. So, I have to accept that.

    Patterson (swarmer/boxer) vs Weaver (slugger/boxer)

    Power: Weaver
    Speed: Patterson
    Chin: Weaver
    Stamina: Patterson
    Technique: Patterson
    Footwork: Patterson
    Versatility: Patterson
    Accuracy: Patterson
    Ring IQ: Patterson
    Heart: Even

    7-1-2 advantage Patterson.

    There isn't much to analyze here. Weaver was brave, tough, and has decent skills, but he's outmatched in so many categories. I give him maybe a 30% punchers chance, but Patterson scoring a KO is within the realm of possibility given Weaver sometimes started slow.

    I think Patterson simply outworks and outboxes the game but somewhat limited Weaver before getting a fairly convincing decision (maybe 8 rounds to 4 or so) or stops Weaver late. It would be very exciting and Weaver would have his moments, probably even scoring at least 1 knockdown, but he probably can't pull it off. Patterson is just too good, too fast, too schooled.

    I did too, Boxed.
    I know, it's hard to accept but I hope you find the peace you deserve.

    Patterson by us, but he has to be alert at all times.
