Could Jack have beaten Floyd Patterson?

Yeah.
Floyd was a great fighter.
But he had almost no chin.
A ton of heart though.
And the great Custamato at his side.Comment

I'm not sure. Patterson had blazing handspeed.Comment

Jack had pretty fast hands too and a great chin. Floyd for me lacked workrate, he only seemed to really turn on the combinations when he had his man hurt.
Either man could win but I'd lean towards Dempsey.Comment

Jack Dempsey never fought a black fighter !!! HE WAS ALL HYPE... old JACK JOHNSON would have kicked his ass!!! FACTComment

I think he would of, but Floyd would have given him a good fight.Comment

He has a shot however, i think if were talking patterson before the injury its a solid fight. Overall though, Patterson might actually end up chasing around the quicker dempsey, dempsey also has a bigger punch. i dont know, i just dont see how patterson wins unless he catches him.Comment

Actually he did, just not once he had become champ and had Tex Rickard as a manager. He also signed to fight Wills twice but Wills people were notoriously difficult to negotiate with and when there was no money behind the deal it didn't happen.
P.S. Johnson never fought any of the top blacks either once he became champ and he got the **** kicked out of him and KO'd by Joe Choynski early on, when they were in jail together after the fight for a few weeks (for mix race fighting) Choynski showed Johnson alot of the defensive skills that he became renowned for, Johnson himself admitted this.
Don't place the word fact after nonsense you write, especially when you have no clue wtf you're talking about.Comment
