who wins?

floyd patterson

jersey joe watcott

A tough call. Floyd Patterson was very fast and had some power to his punches as well. He might be able to beat Joe Walcott to the punch and stop him.

Still, Walcott was a very clever boxer who also packed a solid punch, his left hook in particular. His chin was also better than that of Patterson.

I see this fight being dominated by Patterson early on. Walcott would figure him out though, and come back to take control later on. Somewhere in the later rounds, he catches Patterson and stops him.

Jersey Joe Walcott by ko11.

I'm going with Walcott. He had more depth with his skillset, wasn't so straightforward in style. Also he was a bigger naturally stronger man.

Both underrated punchers who could take a guy out in short order. Both had less than stellar chins.

Yeah I'll go with Walcott, but I wouldn't bet money on it.

His chin was also better than that of Patterson.

lol, i knew someone would say something like that. watcott had a better chin? patterson's chin is far superior to watcott. if you compare the guys who ko'd patterson to the guys who ko'd watcott then there is no contest! patterson has a stronger chin, is faster, and has more punching power. patterson in 6 if it goes that far.

Floyd Patterson by mid round KO.

[sleazyfellow]

both have very good left hands but i think floyds left was more powerful, so yeah floyd by round 5 or earlier

[DaddysBoy]

Definitely patterson. too fast and powerful for glass chinned walcott. i say patterson kicks his ass from round 1 and until the kayo in round 5-6.

they were the same size.

Uh, no they weren't. Patterson was a frail little guy, his wrist circumerence was around 6 inches. He may have weighed about 190 but he was a smaller man than Ingo Johanson when they fought and would be smaller than Walcott in regards to his physical dimensions. So he was smaller and weaker than Walcott. Punching power was about even and Patterson quicker by far. Walcott was a better boxer and had a better defense. Patterson had quick hands but wasn't hard to find at all.

I go with Walcott.

That all means nothing because Walcott was a better boxer and had a better defense. Patterson had quick hands but wasn't hard to find at all.

uhmm, watcott was like 38 when he weighed 195, and patterson was like 25 when he weighed 190. if they were the same age, then they would weight the same.
