Tyson beat a prime Holmes who beat a Prime Ali who beat both Jones and Patterson so Tyson would knock out both of them.
BOTH of these Guys were VERY Small Heavyweights who had BOATLOADS of Speed, Although Floyd Patterson was More MOBILE...Jones Wasn't Really Fleet of Foot, Despite Being UNDERsized...Jones Took Some BIG Shots from Clay w/Out Falling, which Tells REED that his Chin is Waaaaaaaaaaay BETTER than Patterson's... As Such, REED Likes Jones... Jones was More AGGRESSIVE than Patterson as Well, so he'd B BRINGING the Fight to Floyd...He'd have THE BEST Handspeed Patterson has EVER Faced (Yes, INCLUDING Clay), Catch Floyd w/Something he DOESN'T Anticipate, DROP him & Eventually STOP him... Doug Jones by KO, Somewhere btwn 3 & 5 Rounds... REED:hammert:
Broadway has finally managed to stump me. I just don't know who wins this. I've watched Doug Jones look as good as anyone in history, but I've also seen him struggle terribly against lesser guys. Meanwhile, Patterson is no easier to figure out. He could be as tough as three day old steak or as meek as a lamb gently walking to the slaughter. If the best version of each guy showed up, I guess I would lean toward Jones via decision simply based on his speed and ability to easily put combinations together. Also, it's hard for me to imagine Floyd hurting him.
