    I think Patterson gives Dempsey a good fight, but Dempsey finds Patterson and finishes him eventually. I pick Dempsey for many of the same reasons I pick Marciano over Patterson. But Dempsey is faster and more fluid than Marciano and he's definitely Ingo's superior.

    Floyd stops Jack late. Too much speed for Jack and speed bothered him. Jack preferred hammering away at lugs like Willard and Firpo. Plus Floyd was a sharper puncher than Jack ever faced. That damage would add up and lead to his demise.

    Patterson's my third favorite so I'm not gonna disagree. :lol:

    But to be fair, Dempsey was past it when he fought Tunney.
