    The same. Patterson was a dangerous man against other top heavyweights, so just imagine what he'd do to Wilt, who was an amazing athlete, but he just wasn't a fighter and in my opinion wasn't suited to be a fighter.

    Patterson vs. Wilt would’ve been more fun, who knows maybe Wilt flukes a knockdown before getting walloped into oblivion

    Wilt would have made a loud crash on the canvas.

    I would think very poorly of Ali if he seriously went after him, which I guess he probably wouldn’t…but that meeting they had on camera made me wonder. Good Lord, Ali was insecure about Chamberlain’s height. It didn’t seem like his usual riffing.

    Wilt would do about as well against Ali in boxing as Ali would do against Wilt in basketball

    At nearly 6'3" in the 1960s Ali probably was the tallest man in the large majority of places he'd go, so it was a definite shock to his system to feel as small as he did last as a child.
