    I’m not quite sure how Patterson would approach this one. Would he chase down Conn as Louis did? Or would he try to outbox him ? Not totally decided on how this plays out or the outcome. I’m going to take a chance on guessing that it goes the distance with one of them winning a close decision. The outcome may depend largely on who’s judging, who pushes the action, who’s busier etc.

    Great fight. However, i don't see Conn having enough power to keep Patterson off him. Patterson also has very very quick hands. I think it will be competitive but Patterson's superior power will allow him to land the bigger punches and win a competitive decision.

    Floyd hits way harder than Conn and is way quicker. Decision win or late KO for Floyd.

    Floyd Patterson would win, by decision probably, but a late stoppage would not surprise me.
