    It’s not improbable Floyd boxes his way to a win here. It’s more likely he’s overwhelmed for being courageous. I’ll pick Floyd for the sake of honour.

    I wouldn't rule Floyd out, he wouldn't get ko'ed by Andy Ruiz

    I think Mr Patterson would be leaving the stadium wearing his bearded disguise.

    Patterson by knockout. Joshua’s lack of head movement would just make him a big target for Patterson.

    Joshua also really struggles with shorter fighters and Patterson being 5’9” would be very difficult for Joshua to land clean on.

    If Floyd lands a shot on AJ s China chops then he's going down big time.

    Patterson’s chin gets better with each passing decade

    Yeah he would. Floyd got run over by a 200 pound Ingo. Ruiz is a 6'2 260 pound man with fast hands and power. Floyd was a tremendous fighter in his era but come on now. Watch some film of Ruiz.

    Ruiz is a tub of Lard who got outboxed by a dinosaur named Ortiz and barely survived because Ortiz was SHOT to pieces.,,,
    Yeah that's the film I watched, Floyd boxes the fat off his ears

    You'll talking about china chins and yet Patterson was on the floor like 20 odd times wasn't he ? And vs fighters not anywhere near the size of Joshua.

    Patterson as far as fighting ability was as master compared to Joshua's novice.
    But Joshua's physical advantages cannot be overlooked here, especially when considering Patterson didn't have a great chin.
    If Joshua was his pre Ruiz loss self when he fought more aggressively, he probably stops Patterson in 7-8 rds. ( Probably would've stopped Usyk also)
    The Post Ruiz version of Joshua, who now is fighting much more cautious, Patterson could win a decision over him.
