Mitch Green vs Floyd Patterson

[Nile4000]

15/Hwy, who wins?

Ain't Mitch Green too big for Floyd Patterson?

[gilgamesh]

I'd take Patterson by UD here. Green was tough, but that's about all. He didn't have anything else that made him a world level guy.

Green is awful

[elmersalsa]

If Mitch Green lasted 10 rounds with the great Mike Tyson, something he did right. He can't be that bad.

Patterson would land fast jabs and combinations on the body and head while bobbing and weaving through Green's punches with his peek-a-boo style like Mike Tyson to take a decision.

Yes. Skill wise he had everything Mike had. He just didn't have the chin or quite as big of a punch, but he was probably even faster than Mike.

Hes bad
He was effective at clinching. He proved if you dont try to win you can lose 9 rounds

He never beat anyone remotely good.

Green was a good amateur. Just not a pro

Green is the only boxer I can ever remember getting disqualified for refusing to throw punches.

[Expug]

And he got pulled over by the police for driving with a TV strapped on the front hood of his car.
Told the police he shouldn’t get a ticket because he was watching “ police story”.
Patterson by decision. Wide

You cracked me up with this line

He was actually a decent amateur with wins over Ty Biggs, David Bey and Anders Eklund.
