    Patterson has the WBC title and Holmes is his challenger. What happens next?

    Larry had too much size and reach, better movement and that punishing jab. This is a terrible matchup for Floyd.

    I'd say Larry stops quite early actually.
    Maybe around 3.

    Larry Holmes bludgeons Patterson badly.

    While Holmes punch can be underrated, he wasn't a puncher like Liston or Ingo

    I think it could be a repeat of Holmes vs Leon Spinks.

    No but he could be sharp and fast with it and I think he gets him hurt early.
    He'd get him whilst Patterson is jumping with those hooks.

    Patterson was much superior to Leon Spinks

    Holmes KO1 off the jab. Patterson couldn’t dream to do as well as a Renaldo Snipes or a 19-8 Weaver.

    Holmes stops a game, busted up Floyd in about 6. Floyd hasn't won a minute of a round. He goes out on his feet, still swinging.
