    I meant that Patterson could have the same ending he did during their first fight

    We have to ask , but I don't think it's likely , would Floyd be intimidated by Rocky as he was Liston . Would he be actually beaten before the first Bell?
    Ok , Liston played on the scaring tactics against Floyd but would the young Patterson perhaps feel that Marciano would get the upper hand with his strength , despite him seeing his best years behind him ?
    Rocky was a brutal guy to face and Floyd May have had doubt s in his mind he'd beat the caveman .
    My personal opinion is that Floyd would be actually Beating him and find him perhaps easier than first thought but his lack of experience at this level would work against him and Marciano would eventually catch him in the late rounds .

    I say that ultimately, Marciano would be too strong, durable and hit too hard
