    I got Patterson in a good fast paced scrap. That is as long as Dokes shows up. Patterson however you cut it

    Interesting matchup. A lot of speed on display. It would be murder doing the punchstat numbers accurately.

    Again, Floyd is of a different class. Dokes didn't have Floyd's talent, discipline or staying power. A no-doubter for Patterson.

    I went with Floyd on points. Prime Dokes was a boxer not a puncher. It would come down to speed and skill which I believe Floyd would best him in

    I honestly like the older version of Dokes who fought Holyfield and Ruddock better in a H2H with Floyd. That Dokes sat down on his punches and went to war. I think he’d get a knockdown or two and win a decision.

    Younger Dokes, whenever you want to consider his prime, probably isn’t as effective against Floyd and it would be a yawner of a fight.
