    Could Coetzee and his dangerous right hand, prove deadly for Floyd Patterson?
    If Floyd doesn't take this fight seriously, he could end up in a similar situation as he did In Ingo 1.

    Coetzee had the size, timing and the power to switch Patterson and his lightbulb chin off for the count. Gerrie's main problem was his iffy conditioning in longer fights against tough opponents.

    Yep I think he's one of those really dodgy oppenent s for Floyd, a guy that has a fair dig in his right.
    It's definitely a winnable fight for him

    Against Dokes ,Coetzee showed a decent left hook.This fight could go either way imo.

    No, Coetzee's main problem was his HEAD.
