    How I wish I could find the full video of this! Jack was right in his prediction! It makes sense as Pattersons head movement was far more advanced, stylistically a derivative of what Dempsey pioneered, and his countering was no joke as well.

    That’s what I was thinking, it may not be the guy who uploaded it, maybe he just had that clip, but whoever cropped it, I don’t get why they ended the recording right before Tunney’s prediction or even at all because, if they kept and uploaded the full footage, people could’ve edited clips from that anyway, it’s rare vintage footage of some of the biggest names in history, it makes no sense why they did that.

    I don't think he was predicting Floyd to win, he was merely demonstrating what he could do in response to Tunney's Ingemar impression.
    In another interview he picks Ingemar to win
