15 rounds, circa 1959, who wins?

Maybe my favorite mythical/fantasy fight. Johnson had other worldly boxing skills and he punched much better than some guys who dropped Patterson. Still, I find myself stumped by this one. If somebody contends that Patterson's speed and power trump Johnson's skill I'm not going to argue.

Patterson and Johnson would be a classic as they boxed toe-to-toe, but Patterson would score with accurate combinations to take a close decision in 15 rounds.
