    As much as I like Floyd Patterson, there is only one way I could envision a fight with him against George Foreman. Can anyone see any possibility other than Foreman KO 1 Patterson? I can't. I couldn't see him getting to the second round under any circumstances.

    It would look like a clone of Liston Vs. Patterson fights

    Foreman uppercuts him into orbit.

    Foreman in all likelihood by KO.
    But it is silly for anyone to insist that amongst World Class fighters, it can only end within one round.

    It might well; but there are numerous reasons it might go longer, including Foreman starting slowly, & Floyd, who was really quick, choosing to box at range & be evasive.
    He could have done this against Liston either time & delayed the inevitable.

    Hello, Jinjinn.

    I believe the over and under on this should be around a minute and 30 seconds of round number one.

    I did a similar thread but it was Floyd Patterson circa 1964 versus George Foreman circa 1997.

    Not gonna lie, I was the one who picked Patterson by KO. :lol: Not because I think he has even the slightest chance, but because I'm an unapologetic Patterson fanboy. :lol:

    Foreman would've beaten Patterson and fanboys would've gone on to create a case for Foreman beating Lewis based on it.
