Heavyweights : Floyd Patterson vs. Frank Bruno

[Woldemar]

Prime vs prime.Who wins?

Bruno had the size to overpower Patterson, but he didn't had tools to avoid Floyd's fast punches, he didn't had enough of chin to take them either. Patterson by KO in 5-7 rounds.

Bruno for me......he was a much bigger, nastier and hard-hitting operator than someone like Johansson who managed to blitz Floyd in their first encounter and I can see Frank easily blasting through Johansson too in a Euro title fight.

Frank had his well-documented limitations.... but he's a 6"3 heavyweight and typically weighing 16 stone 7lbs without an inch of fat on him and he hit bloody hard with both the straight jab and winging hook, and I just don't think a smaller but more skillful Floyd can deal with this.

Even some scuffed Bruno shots that don't not land on the button would do a lot of cumlative damage......and Bruno was good at bossing smaller guys.

Bruno would destroy Patterson-way too big and strong.

[scorpio83]

Patterson had the same style as Mike Tyson, but not a strong as Tyson enough to put Bruno away.

Bruno would be too big and strong as he destroy Patterson in 6 rounds.

[milpool]

Bruno by KO in around 8 rounds. He’s just too big and hits too hard for Patterson.

[gilgamesh]

Ooooh. Good matchup here. I think either Bruno by KO or Patterson by Decision are the likely outcomes. I'd favor Bruno.

[AntonioMartin]

I like Patterson but with his chin and Frank's power, Frankie had a puncher's chance definitely..

[margaret thatcher]

Floyd could be a pretty nasty puncher himself tbf
