    Andrew Golovkin?

    Lol. Did Andrew get Golovkin's chin transplanted or did Gennady get a height increase surgery to get as tall as Andrew?

    Honestly winnable for Golota but would never bet on it, he probably removes Patterson’s ability to reproduce while up on the cards instead.

    Patterson would put Golota on his back.

    Patterson makes him look absolutely foolish.

    One more time, Floyd Patterson is the single most disrespected ATG on this forum.

    People picking Golota based on size might want to check out his fight with 5'9 Orlin Norris who give Golota all he could handle.

    Golota won that fight pretty handily, Norris maybe got a couple rounds in his favor at the most. Not to mention that Orlin is way better defensively than Patterson is (and had a far superior chin, too).

    I don't agree it was highly competitive I had it 6-4 Golota.

    Floyd is way too fast and slick for Golota to catch up.

    Who is prime Golota, the guy who kept hitting Bowe in the nuts? I don't see how Golota can win this fight, the man is an absolute head case with no heart. There's no mistake that Patterson has a glass jaw, he might even get dropped more than once, but Golota is too dumb to capitalize on an injured Patterson. Patterson would be too fast, too talented, just simply the better fighter. Patterson wins by either decision or DQ, if it's a 15 round fight he gets the knockout.

    Heh DP, I hope you're well mate. When I saw you had posted in this thread, I was expecting you to dismiss Patterson's chances on the basis of the c.5" and 45lbs difference, as you've dismissed Marciano in multiple fantasy fights, citing similiar size discrepancies as your reasoning, so was suprised to read your post doing the opposite.

    I'm curious, would you have made the same post if the thread was Marciano vs Golata? Or is there some reason you'd completely dismiss Marciano's chances out of hand, but believe Patterson would have a decent chance?
