Heavyweights: Floyd Patterson vs. Jimmy Young

Post by scorpio83 »

15 Rounds Heavyweight Bout

The Patterson of the Archie Moore, the second and third Johansson fight would cut the ring and landing good combinations on the slick Young of the Ali, Foreman and Norton fight. Young would have his moments by out-boxing and frustrating Patterson through the early rounds, but Patterson would come back and fought stronger in the later rounds to take a decision. What do you guys think and who do you got?

An intriguing matchup. Young was elusive enough to avoid Patty's best shots, but Floyd could outwork Young.

Floyd by close UD, like 8-6-1.
