    Would Floyd Patterson have been more successful with Liston had he not been at such a weight disadvantage? Who was the better fighter?

    Damn that's 7x the amount in 1 fight than Adamek is his entire career:rofl

    Floyd was a good dude but there is good reason why Bert Sugar called him and Ingo the WEAKEST of belt holders at HW.

    Dude, Patterson is a wrecking machine when the size is equal. Dempsey, Charles, Adamek, would all get it.

    And Floyd vs Adamek at Cruiser is a no contest fight, Floyd KO 5.

    Sorry brother but you would have been KO'd in devastating fashion against Dempsey.

    That said, Braddock was the weakest champ, not Floyd :deal

    Ahem. I am about to copy and paste something from my previous thread. Vladimir23 style.

    Now.

    One of the most underestimated HW's out there. - I AM UNBIASED, LOL

    People forget that Patterson has the fastest handspeed

    of any heavyweight.

    Observe as the 190lb Patterson goes toe2toe with 200+lb Oscar Bonavena


    Patterson lands a Leaping Left on Bonavena

    No denying Patterson was a fantastic Heavyweight but he would be outgunned by Dempsey badly. He is faster but Dempsey's punches are shorter and he'd rip right through your peek abo stance en route to a KO. Just watch the Liston fights.
