I've Become A Big Fan Of Floyd Patterson

[The Fightfan]

This guy was truly what a boxer should be a good sportmans and a good guy outside the ring, and amazingly exciting in the ring. And also IMO he had some of the quickest handspeed in Heavyweight boxing history i just love watching this guy fight he is so exciting, i just recently watched him tear up Henry Cooper what a performance that was. I feel he was far too small for Heavyweight and he would of been one of the greatest Light Heavyweights of all time.

I agree totally except for me the fastest hands in heavyweight history.

Floyd Patterson was a class act in and out of the ring. And being a small heavyweight he had to pick himself off the canvas more than any other heavyweight champion in history. What he lacked in size he made up for with skill, speed, and heart.
