    That is not Ali's fault.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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.

    April 18, 1968

    New Paltz Register

    "Floyd Patterson Adds In His 2-Cents"

    I just watched Joe Frazier take down Buster Mathis. It was a good fight, and
    Joe proved that he is one to be reckoned with. It was Joe {smaller} that was the
    stronger man in the Ring.

    I'm hoping to fight Buster Mathis in an elimination bout in June. The winner between
    us gets Joe in September. But, it all depends on Buster. He may not want to fight
    right away.

    Or, I could take on the winner of the Jerry Quarry - Jimmy Ellis 'WBA Championship'
    which is being held next week {April 27, 1968}

    That may be my best chance at getting the Title again. I feel that I'm equal to Jerry
    Quarry, as both of our bouts could have gone either way. And Jimmy Ellis is a quality
    boxer, but he's still unproven.

    I know I can be a 'pain-in-the-neck' for either one of them.

    There are still a few guys ranked ahead of me {Eduardo Corletti and Thad Spencer},
    and I may have to offer them 'step-aside' money to get my chance.

    uhhh, yeah.... a guy who side steps everything and just keeps going---hey could Denilson200 be Ron Price? They both seem to do the same thing, just keep steam rollin' despite what other posters write/ask.
