    The best version of Walcott vs the best versions of Patterson. Who takes it?

    It's hard to say. Patterson could be very passive at times and do not much at all, in which case I would go with Walcott, who is superior as a boxer, However, I could see Floyd's body attack taking its toll. It could swing either way, but I make JJW a slight favorite.
