Floyd Patterson vs Usyk?

Floyd, good chance he wins by TKO

 

Usyk by late TKO after a war of a fight

 

Usyk UD12/15. Patterson could land but so could Usyk.

 

50/50

 

Interesting matchup on which I am undecided . Floyd was never really outboxed ,but Usyk would something new to him.

 

He`d have a lot of trouble with Usyk`s high guard.

 

Usyk has a better more active guard than Patterson had and has a big height advantage that could come into play too, I pick Usyk his punching is more creative despite Paterson`s amazing hand speed and deadly hooks.

 

I lean towards usyk. I feel patterson presents problems early handspeed and power . but i dont know if he could hold up

 

I don’t think Usyk fought anyone as good as Patterson yet although some nice competition. Patterson flight a lot of really good boxers and had close matches w most of them. Would be an interesting matchup and one I wouldn’t bet on.

 

If Usyk won this ,it would be down to his footwork!

 

Patterson fought one southpaw, Vic Brown who was 23-18 at the time, and Patterson won a 10 round decision. This was prior to Patterson fighting Bonavena and Ali the second time. Brown had been knocked out by Tony Doyle less than a year before the Patterson fight. I've never seen Patterson on video where he looks particularly impressive. I know that on message boards Patterson is supposed to be one of the quickest heavyweights, but I've never seen the evidence on video. I do remember that Patterson looked much smaller than Ali. Against Usyk he'd have the same size disadvantage plus he'd be fighting a quick, agile southpaw. I don't think Patterson would even be competitive.

 

Tony Bellew, 35 years old and in his last fight, was outpointing Usyk for several rounds, but Patterson wouldn't be competitive. Makes sense.

 

Patterson UD. Speed kills.

 

I don't believe there is any doubt Floyd had very fast hand speed.
