Patterson.

Can't believe Young is leading the voting.

It would be like the Patterson-Ellis fight and the Young-Ocasio ones
at points.

I pick Floyd to get the decision. He out works and bursts his way
to a good points win.

Bad style matchup for Young. Patterson by decision.

Young was not even near an all time great, with about 20 losses. Patterson was a champ, but in an era that was weak, until he met Liston and Clay/Ali. Patterson wins, but Young could show up some fights and give him trouble.

At his very best, the Jimmy Young that got robbed against the great Muhammad Ali and gave the great George Foreman a BOXING LESSON beats any version of the great Floyd Patterson.

I suggest you re-score Young-Foreman. It was miles closer than history recalls.

I will see that fight again, Goodnight Irene. It was a very entertaining scrap.

Yes, it had some moments, but there's no way Young won very convincingly, as many state.

I have yet to sit down and score it, but I had Foreman v Young as
a pretty close fight.
