    Marciano at the end of his career versus the young Floyd Patterson?

    What transpires?

    Given Floyd's chin, I could never favor him over Rock.

    It is not quite that easy.

    Floyd was easy to put down but much harder to keep down. Good heavyweights such as Quarry and Bonavena couldn't put a dent on him.

    Also, Moore put this version of Rocky down and almost out. I'd pick Patterson to rip Rocky's face off

    a shit heavyweight like Ingo Johansson kept him down

    Floyd was older but stronger and smarter when he fought Bonavena and Quarry and neither of them is Rocky Marciano

    Marciano knocks him out eventually every single time

    Rocky easily. Patterson will not be able to keep the Rock off of him. That China chin gets cracked eventually.
