Mike vs Floyd Patterson: who wins

I’m okay with favoring Patterson. But unlike some others I’m not sure I can see it as being “ easy “

 

Good call, probably underrated

 

Picked a weird, mouthy emoticon then. Tease.

 

The charge that he had a "glass jaw" dogged Patterson his whole career. I think it's overstated. Only two opponents actually put him on ***** street. Most of the knockdowns to others were of the flash variety or when he was off-balance in fights he would go on to dominate.

 

WTF? I can't say *****?

 

Bad matchup; they arent that far apart in overall ability imo (mostly because of the doping era that Weaver was a part of, he had those advantages), but Patterson could start VERY fast if he so desired, and hit pretty hard. I think he takes Weaver out in the early rounds more often that not, pretty brutally.

 

I saw the headline, and I thought don't be silly, even Mike Weaver could beat Patterson. Weaver wins this one in the second half of the fight.

 

Floyd was also a hitter, faster, more defensively sound; I can't really envision a scenario that Weaver wins, unless he clips Floyd

 

Or when he wanted to take a breather.

 

Floyd, but he's got to be careful, one mistake and it could go badly really fast.
