    Your interest "obsession?" with size always gives me a smile but never mind me, it a good thread. This match up is particularly intriguing but can any pure boxer of Floyd's size (See, you have me at it too!) beat him? I'll go for young Patterson's speed and punch to triumph but I'm not bullish about it. Still if he could take out Archie he should do Johnson too.
