    I think Paterson outhussles Joe who could never be truly busy over twelve, or fifteen I guess. I don't think Joe hits hard enough to stop Floyd with one big bang, and I think Floyd is too skillfull to take a lot of shots from Joe. I picked Holmes to beat Floyd on another thread, but two things, styles make fights and Joe ain't Larry. Floyd by close but clear decision...

    I think Patterson stops Parker, and it has nothing to do with nostalgia. I am not old enough to have seen Floyd fight in his prime.
