12 rounds.

It would be similar to Tyson vs Thomas, but with more Pinky's moments and him lasting longer.

I don't like to make an opinion against Patterson because he was a great fighter in his time, but Thomas' jabs and right hands on the outside as he would outbox Patterson for a decision win.

Thomas by Decision. He was better than most remember. Of course this is taking away his issues and him coming in prime.

I always said if Pinklon could of stayed off the drugs he would of been an all time great.
But like so many with potential he wasted it

That's how I see it. Maybe not ATG but surely one of the best of his era.

Thomas was very good. Had good boxing skills and some power. Thomas was more of a classic boxer than Patterson. Patterson with his leaps into his opponent was unorthodox. Really no one else was like Patterson style wise. Would lean towards Patterson, though Thomas would have a serious chance.

At both their best, I would say Pinklon by close ud. More durable and stronger jab. And I don't think that Floyd could hurt Pinklon, but Pinklon could hurt him.
