    Instead of fighting Roy Harris in 1958, Brian goes back in time and scraps with Patterson. Could Patterson overcome the size difference?

    Patterson stops him after beating him up mid-rounds, in Denmark however, he stops him, but they deem the damage was done by Patterson telepathically headbutting him, Nielsen win DQ.

    Nielsen was good enough to be in the ring with Mike Tyson

    Poor Brian always gets underrated, but he's the guy to equal Marciano's streak. Even Sugar Nicky and Malignaggi coudn't do it. There was also this guy who lost to Spinks twice, but his name eludes me at the moment.

    Brian Nielsen, the guy who needed a gift against a 1997 Larry Holmes... I wonder...

    Patterson by decision or late ko.
    Floyd's hand speed and counter punching has him winning the fight on the card s.

    Nielsen drops Floyd in the early rounds. Floyd recuperates and cruises to a decision.
