Assuming Tim is in shape and fights up to potential, he'd probably stop Patterson anytime after the sixth.

Floyd's vast size disadvantage, coupled with his lack of durability, makes me think he couldn't withstand Spoon's powerful right hands. Add to this Tim's strong, commanding left-jab, technical skills, strength and durability, and it's hard to imagine Patterson hanging in there.

But one thing I will say in Floyd's favor is that he'd put on one hell of an effort for as long as it lasts. Remember his 1972 loss to Ali? Floyd was no quitter.
