Interesting matchup. Floyd was sort of small for a heavyweight but he had quick hands and a decent punch. Roy fought John Ruiz at around 200lbs so size wouldn't be much of a factor in this fight. Roy at his peak was so hard to hit cleanly but Patterson might be able to get to him because of his speed. I see this has a chess match for the early part of the fight with Roy taking an early lead but Patterson coming on late in the fight and winning a close 15 rd decision.
