Patterson had very fast hands and boxing skills but Toney just needed to get inside and land the punch. Toney would be able to do that.

Re: Floyd Patterson vs 03 James Toney
Bad style match up for Toney in my opinion. I think Patterson would use his mobility and foot speed advantage to get the decision. He wouldn't hurt Toney, but he wouldn't be dumb enough to stand there and let James catch him solid either. Toney is at his best vs straight forward guys who try to take his head off. Think Holy (who was shot and fought a dumb fight), Jirov, Prince Charles Williams, Iran Barkley...etc. he struggled with fast guys who were mobile and had high work rates. Think Roy, Montell, Nunn (before he caught him)...etc. Floyd fits into the second group stylistically.

Patterson gets knocked out unconcious with short, counter right uppercut as he leaps in with a left hook..
