February 1968

'Hey Floyd, Time To Leave Boxing To The Real Heavyweights'

The writers at Boxing News don't want to hurt Floyd Patterson's feelings,
but enough is enough.

Floyd, who has visited the floor more times than Cockroaches swept off the
kitchen counter, would be better if he left Boxing or at least the Heavyweight
Division.

There is something a little lower, called the Light-Heavyweight Division, where
overblown Middleweights or 'skinny-rails' hang out. That would be Floyd's best
venture if he decides to continue.

That is not Ali's fault.

March 1968

Floyd Patterson

I will scout both Buster Mathis and Joe Frazier in their upcoming bout on
March 4, 1968. Both boys are undefeated and tough.

I have been promised a chance at the loser of this bout for sometime
in June.

We'll see what happens. If I fight the loser of this bout, I must be given a
guarantee that I get a chance at the Champion right away, at least by
September.

I like Buster Mathis to beat Joe. He's too big, and will wear down Joe and
win a Decision.
