Patterson.

We do know that Patterson could pack a whollop amongst the heavyweights (see: Johansson II), though Robinson was simply the greatest boxer ever. I'd have to give the edge to Pat with his size, power, and he had quick hands for his size.

uhhh

A heavyweight vs a welterweight?

patterson via 2nd round brutal ko. patterson had just as fast hands as robinson and at the weight they would fight at, patterson would be quite a bit faster and alot stronger.

Patterson in two rounds or less. That is all.:wave:

patterson by KO

Ray Robinson is my all time favorite fighter.

That being said, if he and Patterson fought in their respective primes, Patterson KO's him.

Styles make fights. I would say that Robinson would have a better chance of beating a heavyweight who was slower than Patterson, one of history's all time fastest punchers. That would be the key to me. Floyd's whiskers were weak, but not THAT weak that a welterweight - middleweight would stop him.

Antonim, you've been coming up with some neat match ups. Good job.

woooow.

great fantasty fight, a welterweight v.s a heavyweight? :no:

Underboss,

I think what's trying to be said here is that at the time they were talking about fighting, Patterson, a small heavyweight, had weighed only 187 3/4 lbs when he knocked out Archie Moore, was not really all that bigger than Robinson, who had fought as high as 165 1/2.

So, what's the big deal? You didn't think John Ruiz had too much weight over RJ when Jones beat his a$$, do you? Then, why the bad attitude here? This is not about a 147 pounder vs a 240 pounder, as you sarcastically said.

Haven't you ever heardc of "catch weight" fights?

Sugar Ray was old when Patterson was dominating. Patterson would have beaten him quick.
