How would Patterson have done against Louis, s title challengers?

patterson would beat billy conn much easier than louis did

 

Very interesting topic.

Most all time greats would be unable to match Louis's resume, simply based on the timeline.

They simply wouldnt be able to put together a run of world class form, over such a long timespan.

With Patterson we have the opposite problem.

He is one of the very few heavyweigths in history, who was consistently performing at world level, over a similar period to Louis.

He would fall short, because he was marginal for beating some of the opposition, if not an outright underdog against them.

 

I think we would see some interesting results here.

Patterson might be beating some of Louis's best opponents, long after they had consigned Sonny Liston the graveyard, in an alternative timeline!

 

Somebody would have beaten him long before he got to Walcott.

Hard to say exactly who, but it would have happened.

Between Braddock, Schmeling, Galento, Simon, Baer, Nova, and Mauelio, he is going to bet stopped.

Possibly more than once.

There would also be issues in terms of the attrition that this schedule would have taken on him.

He would be in a lot more fights against elite opposition.

There would also be stylistic bullets to dodge, and just plain bad luck.

 

Galento and the super heavies that Louis beat would be an interesting match up with Patterson.

 

I think Floyd does well, beating Galento, Farr and Godoy perhaps easier than Louis did.

Galento has the puncher's chance.

 

I'd be curious to see how he'd do against Conn, Schmeling, Pastor, Walcott and Charles. Not sure I like his chances against some of the Giants like primo Carnera, Buddy Baer, Max Baer and Abe Simon. Patterson for all his greatness was comparatively a small dude at heavyweight and with a questionable chin at that.

 

I'm pretty sure Shmelling was better than Ingo, so I wouldn't be surprised if he took a loss to him.

 

I think he losses to quite a few of them tbh

 

KuRuPT no disrespect but your post is absurd! Not to mention the era difference.
