    I did a search for this one, but couldn't find this thread done anywhere. Thoughts?

    Lewis knocks him out, without question. As soon as he lands a decent right hand, it's over. This is one mythical match-up bout where I don't really have to consider it: Lewis KO and early.

    It would be quite similar to Liston-Patterson.

    Skip to 2:23, Lennox would be proud of that!

    Lewis would use his technique of holding behind the head and hitting.....just Like Liston did to Falling Floyd.

    I'd think that Lewis would stop him early.. just too powerful and strong for Floyd

    I don't think it was very nice of you to copy Shommel's train of thought...

    what if patterson fought at his smartest...could he maybe make it last...what if he just happened to slip that right and counter big LL with his best leaping left hook..could he get "lucky" and ko Lewis...i definitly have to pick lewis..but i think floyd stands a small chance...maybe more then he did aganst liston due to LL's chin.....

    What boxing commission would have sanctioned this bout,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Hopefully the bout would be staged, close to a hospital.

    Patterson wins by DQ after the ref has had enough of Lewis' holding behind the head and hitting tactic

    Patterson usually gets the shaft in fantasy match ups but the only way Patterson wins is if somehow Lewis has a heart condition that strikes moments before he can get in the ring.

    Lewis KO early.

    a complete mismatch. Floyd's a great fighter, but way way too small to fight Lewis.
