[@NoOne-kr4jc]

He was quite a gentleman.

[@sid6608]

I first learned about your father when when I about 6 years old playing knockout kings 2000 …he was honestly one the best fighters that boxing had to offer

[@lendrury2771]

Floyd only had 2 biological daughters and 1 adopted son Tracy Harris Patterson

For a man who wasn’t really a heavyweight he was a great heavyweight champion. Add to that he was a gentleman inside and outside the ring, this made him a great and humble human being. Great interview. RIP champ.

Patterson's comment about those who seek to ban boxing, is grounded in reality. Thanks for sharing this interview.

Floyd has the greatest hair cut of all time

[@frankpaya690]

It's a toupee

[@envirogirl1]

Loved him like a father. Love this footage!

[@KD400_]

Really. Funny because he married a white woman which was looked down upon at the time

[@KD400_]

Oh if only he was around today because now its completely just business and no love

[@rudimwongozi2169]

He had similarities with Tyson. Grew up in Brooklyn, juvenile delinquent, went afoul of the law as a kid, trained and mentored by Cus D'Amato. Their boxing styles were similar. Fast hands, "peek a boo" defense style.

Hello, Who did this interview, do you know ? This was in 1985, right ? What month,if you knew?

[@SamePassage]

I would find out

[@T1Creator]

I would say this was in early 1985 or a little before because he mentions Holmes as champion

[@thegoat6116]

18:38 Floyd Patterson didn't learn his damn lesson😭 still calls Ali "Cassius Clay"💀

[@T1Creator]

They were good friends. Floyd was the only person Ali allowed besides his mom to call him Clay. There are some other interviews explaining this, but basically Floyd was the one to help Ali made a comeback in 1970 after his license was taken away
