I always thought Patterson was overrated.
He got destroyed by Sonny Liston twice, so badly he had to wear a disguise for weeks afterwards to avoid the shame of being seen in public.
Ali kicked his a** too.
There are probably around 20 or 30 heavies through history that could have blown Patterson away.
A trilogy of fights with Ingemar Johannson does not a great fighter make
There were negotiations between Patterson and Suger Ray Robinson for a fight to take place between them until Patterson ruined it by getting destroyed by Liston.
Patterson was a decent heavy who peaked early but was too small to mix it with the real big hitters,
