Floyd was the second, or maybe third, worst hW champ of all time, ahead of only Johannsson for sure. Maybe he was better than Marvin Hart (lost to Burns), but I don't know much about him.
You are kidding right ? i can think of a whole lot of Heavyweight champions in this era that were worse than Floyd Patterson. Who's only downfall was being too small, and could of been an all time at Light Heavyweight.
I was just considering up until the end of the Lewis era, actually. After that I mostly quit paying attention, and there got to be 7 and 8 champions at a time. Given that, I guess he was better than Douglas, Moorer, and Briggs.
