15 Rounds Heavyweight Bout

Patterson was robbed early in his career by losing a decision to former light heavyweight champion Joey Maxim in 1954, but what if the prime Floyd Patterson fought the Joey Maxim who fought a series with Ezzard Charles? Patterson would land more jabs and combinations on the outside and inside including his left hook to take a convincing decision over Maxim. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Like you say, Patterson was robbed when they did fight. When they fought. That's about as good as Maxim ever was. Patterson got even better than that.

Patterson would've won handily against Maxim at Heavyweight. Maxim was tough as nails so he may not have stopped him, but he would've dominated the fight, and won 12 rounds to 3 or 11 rounds to 4.

the term robbery is overused. Maxim-Patterson was a robbery. I remember watching it and I think one of the rounds was missing. I thought Patterson won every round that I saw.
In a 15-round against a prime Patterson, don't see how Maxim wins more than a few rounds.
