Gets up from 10 knockdowns and even rocks Patterson pretty bad at one point.
I'd read that Peter's Dad fought Floyd Patterson, but just seein it on boxrec is a world of difference between actually seeing the superhuman effort he put forth. Absolute warrior ! And quite the headbutter....
The difference between then and now.
He'd have been lucky if the ref let him carry on after the second or third knockdown let alone ten.
When he was clearly able to continue after the third.
P.s. Pete McNeeley buckled anytime he met a decent puncher. All of his 7 losses were KOs and 5 of them before the end of the 3rd round.
