    A post-Liston Patterson vs the man who put Sonny to sleep. 12 rounds.

    I think that the version of Patterson I've mentioned would get a moral victory of sorts over Liston by winning a clear cut decision over Martin..with his fast hands like a blur landing on Leotis and cutting him ala Ellis along the way. This version of Floyd would acquit himself well in this fight and take it well when martin landed..like he took what Machen dished out in their '64 fight won by Floyd.

    I go with Floyd, but Martin could make it interesting.
