Both so quick. Patterson seems more skilled, Roy tremendously athletic & remarkjable reflexes. Say they fought at their peaks-whatever weight would be best for the bout. Patterson had fear & lack of confidence vs. a bruiser like Liston, thanks at least in part due to D'amatos lack of confidence in Floyd there. Vut he beat many larger HWs & was the youngest HW champion until then. Jones was completely dominant in his prime, though the level of his competition was not as high. In the Jones vs. Golden era LHWs someone said he could trouble a peak Ali, & another seconded that notion. I cannot see that. He & Floyd at peak could likely pull a Doug Jones-like close fight-vs. a young '63 Ali. Since Patterson like Tyson peaked so young, At at the same AGE as Jones I can see Jones winning ifa pre-'64 Ali. Not peak vs. peak. Ali said Patterson was the best boxer he faced. though he did not have the size...I have to like Patterson vs. Jones, though how close I do not know. given the speed of both & approximate same peak fighting size it could be a great fight. WHo do ya got? Also against prime Ali...Cannot see either getting close.
