How does Floyd Patterson do vs. the following :- (all at Heavyweight) Ezzard Charles Michael Spinks Michael Moorer Jersey Joe Walcott Ken Norton Jack Dempsey
Loses to Charles, Walcott, Norton, and Dempsey Spinks and Moorer would be interesting. Not sure. Biggest knock on Floyd was that he was a very small heavyweight. Man had skills and some punching power...
Charles was a very tough man. I think he can get a later stoppage. Walcott Vs Patterson is one I see going either way. I think they could both cause a lot of problems for each other. I think Walcott's tendancy to not work enough could cost him, but he had very good power, and if he caught Patterson I think he'd stop him. Dempsey beats him, fun while it lasts. I think Patterson was a better athlete, but Dempsey was a better fighter.
Floyd was a tough guy to figure .. lightning fast and could seriously punch as well .. I always felt he was over protected as champ and in addition fought in a style poorly suited for his liability as a heavyweight, namely his chin. That said he's competitive with any of them and on any given night who knows ?
Greatest thing about Floyd is he probably has a chance at winning all of them...and losing all of them too.
Brutally knocks out Ken Norton, Michael Spinks and Michael Moorer Gets knocked out by Walcott, mid rounds Losses to Charles by late knockout or maybe UD Is brutally knocked out by Dempsey
loses to Walcott,Charles,Dempsey, not sure of Spinks-toss up- Norton had the style but chinny so it would depend on effectiveness....beats Moorer
I’m kind of most in line with this set of picks the most though it may be a controversial opinion I think he has a great shot with Dempsey though I’d trust Dempsey’s durability more.
