Can't decide which one to vote for. There are a lot of different scenarios that could occur. Patterson always gets the rap for having a glass jaw, but it was almost as good as Walcott's. They both had great left hooks. Walcott had the better defense of the two. However, Patterson was the better finisher of the two.

At times they would be trying to outbox each other; at other times there probably would be some fireworks.
This could be a fight where both men go down multiple times.
Would have been very interesting.

Hard to say who would win just one fight between these guys. This is definitely a pairing where if they fought multiple times I could see them trading wins. I think Patterson was the better inside fighter, and had more overall Boxing talent. Walcott takes a shot better, and hits harder but I think Patterson being the more skilled and versatile of the two fighters would win more often than not in this matchup. Patterson by decision or Walcott by KO is my thinking though a Patterson KO victory isn't out of the question either.

If they fought 7 times I figure either of them would have won at least 2 times in the series.
