    Rahman by KO sadly. We're talking 50+ lbs of muscle weight advantage, taller than Liston, about the same reach.

    I don't think Patterson has the arm length to outbox Rahman. Rahman was taller than Liston, had about 30lbs more muscle mass and nearly the same reach

    I tend to agree. Rahman could blow hot and cold, but a good version of him could take on just about anybody. He hit damn hard and was reasonably accurate too. Patterson has that big problem, namely, that his chin was made of carboard. Rahman is the wrong guy to fight if you can't take a punch.

    I would not be shocked to see it go either way.
