    What if Patterson stopped fighting crap opponents during his title reign and gave Johnson at title shot?

    My first thought is that Patterson's power would carry the day at heavyweight.

    Patterson is big and fast and powerful, compared to Johnson anyways. Even then it was hard for 175lbrs to stack up against the bigger men. Patterson probably takes him out sooner or later.

    real good fight... Patterson definitely gets dropped early... at the end of the day, though, he carries the weight better and is much faster and stronger at heavy... he stops Harold

    Floyd was scared to death of Harold Johnson, folks, and that is the truth.

    Johnson was the only man (the only fighter reported at the time) to get the better of Sonny Liston in the gym.

    I think Johnson has a hell of a shot here and wins by stoppage in the 13th round.
