    Holmes destroys Patterson mid rounds TKO

    Holmes would hammer Patterson on the outside with jabs, long hooks and uppercuts and use his size strength to bully Patterson on the inside

    I think Floyd would give Holmes headaches along the way but when push came to shove Holmes could take it better than Floyd. Probably a tko somewhere past the 8th.

    Floyd is one of my favourite old school heavyweights to watch but he isn't winning this, he can't outbox Larry and he's not knocking him out either (LH had an ATG chin) plus he's giving up height, weight and reach.

    "Patterson-fest"? Outside of Floyd fans (who appreciate and know his career well) most posters I've seen throw him to the dogs, time and time again!
