Holyfield VS Floyd Patterson

[Burning Desire]

Floyd Patterson is getting underrated here, he was never a Heavyweight. And was far too small for the division, the fact he was still able to do as well as he did just shows how great he is.

At Cruiserweight this would be very interesting, and Floyd Patterson's peak a boo style would trouble Evander Holyfield. And remember Floyd Patterson was a very explosive puncher, who also had underrated stamina.

I say Floyd Patterson pulls off the upsets in the 1st meeting, but loses the rematch.

Holyfield. His chin is granite and he's better than Johannson ever was. Jmo.

Thats how I think it would play out too. Be a helluva fight though.

I think Pattersons style could cause Holyfield some problems, but any way I look at this I see Holyfield stopping Patterson.

Good match up.. Providing that Patterson can keep his chin out the way, then I believe he has the handspeed and movement to win quite comfortably, but in reality would he be able to do this?.. I'm afraid I'll be a doubting Thomas on this one.
