    In June 1959, 190 lb Floyd defends against 225 lb Tommy Morrison instead of Ingo.

    Assume Morrison from the Foreman fight is a boxer and puncher.

    Does Floyd's leaping left hook catch Tommy, or does Morrison's "industrial grade left hook" bounce Floyd off the canvas several times?

    I think Floyd gets caught early and taken out in this one - I'm taking Tommy inside 3 rounds.

    I always hate the thought of Floyd going against a big hitter.
    This could go bad for him real fast.

    I think it depends a lot on which version of Tommy Morrison shows up. If it is indeed the boxer version from the Foreman fight, then I think Floyd Patterson wins, but he may have to get up from the canvas once to do it.

    Patterson was faster and more skilled but Morrison hit hard and was significantly bigger. Heart says Patterson but head says Morrison

    How could Patterson dare to replicate what the ATG Michael Bentt accomplished?

    Floyd takes him. Morrison was a bigger hitter but Floyd, who again is criminally underrated here, was frickin’ BETTER.
