In their prime, how would it go

Would have been interesting for a while. Patterson speed would cause problems and he would land some good shots. However, sooner or later, Marciano's power and workrate would be too much. Would probably last about 6-7 rounds. Hard to imagine Patterson last too much longer than that.

Patterson does well early winning 3 of the first 4 rounds, but after that Marciano's constant pressure starts breaking him down more and more, and I don't think Patterson makes it past the 8th round.
