    Patterson-Machen already happend.

    EDIT: Though both were past their primes, I think prime for prime would be closer but still a Floyd victory.

    i simply copied GPATER's picks with one major fix of Foreman winning against Walcott. and who knows ? i give quarry a good chance against louis , but still picked louis as he was a better fighter and deserves more the overall respect. but had they fought each other , i don't know.
    also , it was very hard accepting marciano over carnera , but i left it that way.
