    Marciano would have knocked Patterson into next week. He retired because he had back problems. The way he fought, I can understand how he got them.

    Now whether Marciano beats Sonny Liston is a different story... But Patterson? Hell I'd say he's the most over rated Heavyweight of all time.

      it's not like guys on a boxing forum should know that name.

      the guys didn't beat anyone good aside from archie moore , joe louis , jersey joe walcott, joey maxim , etc.
      etc being:

      Jimmy Bivins
      Charley Burley
      Rex Layne

      Then about 10 other guys I actually WOULDN'T expect someone who claims to know a little about boxing, to know. But these 3? Inexcusable.

          He would have beaten Patterson, laughable. He was knocked down by smaller fighters. Also when Patterson lost to that Ingemar Johansson, Maricano considered a comeback for Ingemar Johansson NOT Patterson.

            Ingy was worth more money and Marciano was only looking for 1 fight. He was clearly past it at that point. If you think it's laughable you haven't paid enough attention to Patterson's joke of a resume. Patterson ducked competition like the plague until he got exposed by Sonny Liston. After that, he proved to be just another contender. Glass jaw Patterson with his peekaboo style no way no how survives 8 rounds, much less 15 against a prime Rocky Marciano.

              This prime Marciano has never beaten anyone close to a prime Patterson. Beating up shot old fighters and some LHWS

                  Charles was post-prime, Walcott was over the hill, Layne was prime, LaStarza was prime, and Archie Moore was over the hill. None of those guys were shot. Archie just was never a GREAT Heavyweight to begin with.

                  Rocky Marciano

                  Questionable Wins:
                  Roland LaStarza I
                  Ted Lowry I

                      Floyd Patterson was like a small Mike Tyson with a glass jaw. And people debate if Marciano beats Tyson (I don't subscribe, but still), to even consider Patterson is laughable.
