    A modern day super heavy vs old time cruiser sized heavyweight. Who takes this clash of eras?

    I seriously think Floyd Mayweather would have a good shot at beating that big dope......

    Breazeale impressed me in his win over Izu.

    He has a pretty big size advantage against someone who doesn’t seem to do too well with those. Patterson is the far better boxer and fighter overall. Can his speed, IQ, style and dyanmicsm make up for the strength and size disparity? I don’t know.

    Undecided so far.
    Might have to watch more Brezeale fights.

    Brezeale has a good chin heart and some power.Patterson can run rings around him for,speed, ability, and class,can he overcome 7 inches in height 70lbs in weight is the question?

    I think patterson knocks out the bum.

    A nearly 50 year old hard rock mansour , was embarrassing breazeale before he got injured.

    Patterson is lightning quick and trust me the left hook he knocks him cold.may take more punches than it usually did for patterson but he"ll leave him laying for sure

    That big dope would drop a thudding overhand right on Patterson and put his lights out after walking through his 190 pound frame at about rnd3.

    Breazeale may have the size, but Patterson has the skills, i would go with Patterson.

    Patterson beat other tough characters who would be modern sized heavies today like George Chuvalo and Oscar Bonavena. Patterson boxed circles around them and Breazeale may or may not have hit harder than them and he certainly isn't any more skilled.

    Did Patterson ever fight anyone with that kind of size advantage? Some would pick Patterson over Carnera who was Brezeale's size and how much better would you rate Brezeale than Carnera?

    Height and weight don't mean nothin' if you're practically a dummy bag. Size is overrated. I'll take Usyk and Gassiev over 90% of today's heavyweights.

    Not a great deal I'd say he has a better chin and better power.

    Patterson's left hook is better than every single one of Brezeale's punch. He can take a punch but that's all he's got.
