It would be a competetive fight. Both could hurt and get hurt. Patterson was faster and more explosive. I'd pick Floyd to score a KO.

I would go with Floyd, but if Walcott caught Patterson with the left hook that he caught Charles with, then all bets are off.

I think that Jersey Joe Walcott was the better fighter. Much stronger, too.

I will go with Walcott by knockout in 8.

Walcott would stop Patterson-too much technique and power.

If these guys fought 5 times I think both of them would have some wins to their credit, and we'd get a bit of everything. Decisions, KO's.

I think Patterson would win it more often than not, but Walcott definitely COULD beat him.

Just depends on who's night it is that night.

Might depend on which one gets Dan Florio in his corner.
