Floyd Patterson vs. Sonny Liston

[duffgun]

yeah most people thought that pattersons speed would give liston real trouble. and pattersons did have the best defence but he was very good at slipping punches. watch the archie moore fight patterson was brilliant. I think i will have to upload some of patterson's early fights so you can have a better look at him.

Well all of the betting odds I could find place Sonny as the clear favorite in each bout hence the reason I asked the question. Surely those at the time could see the clear problems Sonny presented to Floyd. True Floyd had the speed advantage but that doesn't change the fact he's a straight ahead fighter.
