    I've got Patterson on points here. Thoughts?

    Floyd Patterson wins this one on points. This fight remind s me of the Jimmy Ellis fight on Sept 14 1968, in Sweden. Patterson would pot shot Tucker's face with quick combinations, as he did to Ellis. Tony does not have the skills of a 1965 Ali to toy with Floyd. Also Patterson has faced the hard punchers of his career, Bonavena, Chuvalo, and Johannson. The taller Tucker makes for a target.

    Patterson out boxes and out foxes him to a decision win. Though Tucker may score a knockdown at some point.

    Patterson, based on his experience in a close fight. Now if Tony had developed like he supposed to he wins this by decision or late round stoppage.
