Max Schmeling vs. Floyd Patterson

This is truly one of the more difficult boxing matches to predict...

 

Schmeling too good of a counter puncher Patterson leaps into something big.

 

Max had a similar style to Ingo but was an overall better fighter and while he had a big right hand, I don't think it was as lethal as Ingo's bingo.

This could turn into a trilogy with both men winning one over the other.

 

I’m picking Max here, late TKO or KO

 

Me, too! The best version of Max Schmeling stopped Joe Louis in the 12th round. Joe Louis was somewhat inexperienced but I still think that was at least a decent version of him. I do not see anything comparable in Floyd Patterson's resume, nor do I see anything on film that leads me to believe that a prepared Max Schmeling could not handle him. Honestly, I doubt if Floyd Patterson makes it to round 12 with Max Schmeling.

 

Are you really a woman??

 

Wait. I will check my birth certificate.

100% Female!

 

It's just that women don't usually post on here, so I was confused

 

Yes, but what does 'floored' mean? If only we had a thread to share our feelings on this...generally speaking.

 

As others have said, this is hard to call. I think I favour Schmeling, but only marginally. I like his timing & counter-shots to overcome Patterson’s blitzing handspeed…just.

Schmeling by competitive decision. Both men get off the canvas.
