    Is this trash any type of joke?

    Ok ,Floyd deserves to be a heavy favourite, but styles make fights.

    Floyd puts up a fight but gets stopped eventually.

    Frazier didn't really have elite power and Patterson was blazing fast with good defensive abilities so this probably goes into the mid/late rounds.

    Yes, maybe a similar fight to the Ellis one.

    Mid-50's Patterson moved around. Problem is, prior to '72, Frazier moved too.

    Frazier catches up to Patterson after 5 rounds, & TKO's him.

    Frazier will son him in four rounds. Patterson isn't mean enough, Frazier is mean as hell every time he was out there. Plus he had a harder hook, better chin, and though he was not as fast as Floyd, he has more than enough speed to catch up to him.

    Frazier was not a great starter but in this matchup I think he gets an early knockout. Floyd is not gonna take that hook well. An average hook from Joe gonna shake Patterson and be the beginning of the end.

    Frazier is a bit too big and forceful in this one.
