    Marciano in 4-5 rounds.

    Patterson could whack, and he was fast enough to trouble Rocky a great deal.

    It would look like a easy victory for Patterson until rocky begins to find his range. Rocky will catch Patterson, Patterson was a champion , a great boxer but not a runner. He would stand and trade with the Rock at some point.

    Then its goodnight for him.


    Rocky by KO

    I'd see patterson leading by a hefty margin towards a SD, but sadly chances are good Rocky catches up with him and takes him out.

    Rocky in the mid rounds. It would be a good action fight.

    Oh yeah you said. I liked that female cop sharing her lunch with the homeless guy, balances out some of the bad press you guys get sometimes:good

    That is cool. Most of the cops are good guys. But when you have 1,000's of them, you will find a few bad apples.

    The press only tells the negative stories, and omits the 100's of good ones.

    Patterson may be the best guy Marciano ever fought,(I disagree Walcott was) but we know for a fact Patterson never beat anyone close to the power durability stamina strength and greatness of Marciano

    You really think pattersons chin can handle Marcianos power pressure strength for 15 rounds? Sure he had ridiculous fast hands. It's not gonna matter because Marciano will take a few from Floyd to land a few. We know Marciano can take flours punch. Can Floyd take Marcianos? and Floyd loved to go toe to toe. Is he going to be able to take that human torpedo throwing 100 power punches a round and not quit mentally or physically? Floyd had an average chin, he will get batterered, especially at 21 years old and much weaker than the rock. Can Floyd take this kind of punishment and still win?

    I watch Jackson Patterson I. The swarming Jackson landed quite a few flush on floyds chin. Jackson had no power though, Marciano did.

    Strength power stamina experience beats speed and average jaw

    When Patterson faced all time great punchers and finishers, he usually got knocked out every time

    Floyd was knocked out by Johannson who was nowhere near Marcianos ability as a fighter

    Maybe but Marciano was nowhere near the puncher Johansson was. Marciano might have worn down Patterson but this bull**** about his one shot power is so overdone its ridiculous and Patterson's chin was a damn sight better than its been given credit for. Nevermind that Patterson's resume is far better than Marciano's as far as Im concerned chin or no chin, power or no power Patterson is a far more proven top flight guy than Marciano was. I said it was 50/50 for me and I concede that Marciano could win but given all of the above I give Patterson a slight edge. I certainly dont think its in the bag or an easy win for Marciano in the least.
