I say CW because he was only 190lbs.. your thoughts? Alos, how do you see a Floyd Patterson Vs. CW Evander Holyfield going?
Floyd Patterson is underestimated 99.9% of the time, He's one of the rare fighters that gets better with age, He was cruising to a UD with Muhammad Ali in there second fight, before it was stopped on cuts, and Beat Jimmy Ellis, but was robbed! I LOVE FLOYD PATTERSON!
floyd was too damn nice....i always felt bad for him anytime he lost because he was so hard on himself.....
Floyd was very underated in his prime he had the fastest handspeed until Ali, He had tons of skill a great corner and he could hit. his achilles heel was his chin and if anybody else got hit with the same shots that Liston and Ingo's Hammer of Thor connected on Floyd with ,well they no doubt would have found themselves on their back staring at the ring lights on the ceiling.
Probably a good chance he would have hung around light heavy for a few years..in his early 20's, maybe a little longer. Mother of god would he have molested this current crop..and any super mids who dared moved up.
