If they fought, I'd bet Dokes.

If we're talking about overall success in boxing careers, then it's Floyd Patterson. He achieved way more than Michael Dokes ever could wish.

If we're talking about a matchup, then Dokes by knockout in 9 rounds.

I was talking about the Former, but I appreciate the conciseness of both answers.
