Rocky Marciano vs Floyd Patterson

[Southpaw Stinger]

because when you think about it besides being the youngest heavyweight champ (before tyson) he didnt' do anything that big

He became the first man to win the heavyweight title twice.

Patterson really wouldn't be the best he'd probably be the biggest name fighter he ever fought though

because when you think about it besides being the youngest heavyweight champ (before tyson) he didnt' do anything that big

ah something else i had forgotten well i mean besides that cause after him there was the fact that Tyson became younger and Ali won it 3 times so...

of couse Patterson should had never lost the title to Ingo in the first place.

Had Dempsey, Louis, Charles and others had a shot to regain the title from Ingo. They would have done it.
But GREAT fighters like Charles, Tunney and Marciano stop these old greats to being the first to regain the title.

Ezzard Charles was better than Patterson.

- -Most all agree on this, and indeed in our era, had Rocky the split nose in the first Ez fight, he have probably been stopped by the ref.

To be fair to that more life and death fight era, the ref did tell Rock he was going to stop the fight in the next rd if he couldn't take care of business, and the rest history in the moment!

While I doubt Marciano would have ever been a Heavyweight Champion BEFORE WWII, I KNOW Floyd would not have been.

Floyd couldn't take a punch well. Marciano could punch well. To say the least.

I don't know much about Patterson but from what I hear he was greatly skilled, used the same defense as Tyson, and had hand speed under Ali's. He however had the weakest chin of all heavyweights and anyone that comes in the ring with Rocky is going to get dropped on their face. Patterson however had alot of heart and would probably get up several times to continue the the fight. I see Patterson stinging Rocky in the first several rounds losing on the score cards until Rocky starts to heat up and unleashes bombs after bombs until the Ref calls the fight. Rocky TKO by 9. Please give me your insights.

Patterson wins the first rounds and even floors Rocky. But eventually, he goes down from Rocky's relentlessness and punching power.

[uncle ben]

if floyd and charles ever fought, floyd would hand him his ass!

Wishful thinking. Regardless of who won, it would be a tough fight for both men.

[uncle ben]

Absolutely!

With the exception of handspeed and possibly punching power, Ezzard Charles was simply a better & more skilled fighter than was Floyd Patterson...Much better defense, footwork, versatility, pure boxing technique, counterpunching skills, overall balance, quicker upperbody reflexes, toughness, chin, etc., etc.

Yogi can't beat Brian London, though.
