Cus said to Ali's face that had Patterson not had a hurt back that he would have beaten him and Ali would not have been able to run him over so easily.
I don't think Patterson was ever quite the same after the Liston fights, but even prime for prime, he's not a match for Ali, though IMO it'd be a closer, more interesting fight.

Yeah a fit and healthy Patterson and a Prime version would be tougher for Ali but not a match

I believe that a 100% prime Patterson would be the best fighter Ali ever faced, next to Joe Frazier. I do think Patterson could beat him.
Now, we all know the level of Cus boxing IQ. Why are so many of you disagreeing with Cus? This was after Ali's best fights were behind him and Cus knew Ali well and still had this opinion.
Do you believe that Cus is simply saying this because Floyd was his boy? Or because he truly believed it?
