floyd patterson vs chris bryd

This fight would be... odd... anyway my vote goes to Patterson...

 

Patty outboxes Byrd And gets a late KO :bbb

 

Byrd, at his best, an excellent fighter. But if you want to beat a prime Patterson, you need to hurt him. Badly. Or be a genuine ATG "boxer". Patterson's got this.

 

Why? :think

 

This might be the crux of your problem. :think Tell me about your childhood. Lay down on the couch if it makes you feel more comfortable. Doctor Ears is your friend...in a cold, disconnected, impartial, dispassionate, professional, medical way.

 

No one has ever told me that when it wasn't followed by uncovering some rough stuff and weeping uncontrollably. Butt...it's not your fault. It's-not-your-fault. That'll be 350 dollars, here's a lollipop. Schedule an appointment next week with Connie on your way out.

 

His chin is not bad. See, he was stopped 5 times. Two times bu Ali on cuts and facially swellings. Chin? No. Two times by Liston. Early. Chin? Well, yeah but Liston is one of the hardest punchers at hw, the ring magazine even ranked him in the Top15 p4p. And once by Johannson. Well, Johannson ended up in the Top100 p4p punchers of ring magazine too. Not a shame getting stopped by those men, is it?
Yes, he was knocked down often. But interestingly never past round 4. This had more and other reasons than his chin. One is his style. Due to this he was often off-balance and once caught there he went down. Another reason is that he was very nervous early on but once he got going he wasn´t knocked out or down anymore, usually around round 5.
His chin is not bad, it isn´t good either. It´s average. About as good as Wlad´s - no he has not a glass chin. A problem against the biggest bangers like Louis, Marciano, Foreman, Lewis but he would deal with the not great hws with a big punch like Shavers, Morrison or Tua.
He beat Chuvalo and Bonavena and should have gotten the decision in both Quarry fights, while not bangers like Liston they all had serious pop. Nevertheless, Patterson was never in danger of getting stopped here.
He´s great to watch, wonderful technique, fast, variable, adaptable, great combinations, awesome lefthook and just a very attractive style to watch.
And he would murder Morrison. Tommy may knock him down early but Patterson even got up against Liston.
He´d beat Byrd too. Since Byrd has a good chin and was very good defensivly probably by UD. Wouldn´t rule out a late stoppage though.

Wow, this is different. Isn't the trend suppose to be the worst, most limited big puncher you can think of...say someone like Bonecrusher Smith vs. Floyd Patterson? With the majority picking the puncher of course.


Patterson eats Byrd up, one punch KO out of his ass somewhere after the 5th round.
