i dont know about this. i agree patterson was a good fight for marciano. marciano was getting old and slowing down and getting dropped by past prime fighters. but he seems to be to powerful for patterson personally. i think he would just walk through him. liston was a bad match against patterson not only for power but his crazy long arms. but i think marciano would catch up to him in the later rounds and drop the challenger. similar to a patterosn - tyson match up im sure tyson would of just rolled striaght through him.
agreed. theoretically patterson could have held a small size advantage over the rock along with a HUGE speed advantage over him in both hand and foot. add to that superior technique and respectable power and this is hardly a done deal for rocky
