    Patterson was far more skilled and Biggs didn`t have the power to exploit his size advantage, Floyd would beat Biggs with his hook the same way Tyson did except Biggs longder jab would give Patterson more trouble than it gave Tyson, I pick Floyd but Biggs size would be a problem too.

    Biggs never had a prime.Tyson beated it out of him before he reached it.

    I go with Floyd. A better schooled fighter and even though Biggs is bigger, he didn't have the strength and punching power to make it count.

    Patterson TKO late, maybe by the 11th to 15th round. Would be a very interesting matchup, hand speed vs foot speed, close range swarmer vs tall mover. But Patterson makes up for the difference in size with his experience, combinations, and technique.

    Biggs ahead on points, gets stopped by a Patterson, killer left hook.

    The correct form is "beaterized."

    Biggs potentially would’ve done way better in Patterson’s era because he was physically weak for the 80s I wouldn’t pick him over Patterson though.

    Think Patterson wins at the end of Ko or you, it would be an even match for several rounds.

    Tyrell's size would sometimes be a problem, but he never took advantage of his size and got into infighting instead of the jab box.
