    Floyd Patterson as a Cruiserweight

    Floyd fought most of his matches at about 185/190lbs, which was heavyweight in those days. How do ya think he would have done against Holyfield, Spinks and other successful Cruisers?

    spinks was a lighthw, but i think patterson would beat almost all cruisers in history. he had great power for his size.

                not at cruiser he wouldn't. patterson had freakish power for his size. plus he did fight 200+lb. hw when he was 190 or so, and holy field fought hws when he was about 215, so if both were 180-189, patterson would win either by md, ud, or late ko.

                  no ****ing way. stop nuthugging and over rating every fighter that ali fought. holy would wreck patterson. you always talk up patterson and talk down louis and marciano because they were "small" but patterson oh no he had freakish power for his size. you are such an ass. louis marciano and holyfield would send patterson to the canvas with ease.
