    You've said it all really, Floyd on points or he gets sparked by a big right hand.

    Max may have had a bit too much power and be the wrong guy for Floyd who is underated but vulnerable to Max type power

    If Max had a vulnerable chin, then I'd likely pick Floyd. But Max with his chin, can take Patterson's shots until he can land his own. But I think Max would be out boxed in the interim.

    You know, if Patterson was able to outbox a decent or motivated version of Max Baer, I wonder how that would translate into his odds of beating a young George Foreman who had a similar style?

    Patterson by KO early is the most likely outcome.

    Haha I came in to post a very similar thought... I already answered. I guess I haven't changed my mind too much in 2 years...

    I don't see that at all. You usually don't make far fetched predictions, but this is one of the rare ones.
