NABF Heavyweight Title (4th defense by Ali) - Спорт
Floyd Patterson wrote in Victory Over Myself:
“I loved Cus, but he was not going to let me fight the best because he was afraid I was going to lose. I decided a Champion had to face everyone, even if he loses, and I felt better despite the losses."
Ironically, even though he lost to Liston and never regained the title, he is still ranked in the top 20 heavyweights of all time precisely because he fired Cus, and fought real contenders, rolling up a record worthy of the Hall of Fame.
After he fired Cus, Floyd faced:
Muhammad Ali
Sonny Liston
Eddie Machen
Henry Cooper
Jimmy Ellis
Oscar Bonavena
Jerry Quarry
George Chuvalo
"'I decided a Champion had to face everyone, even if he loses.'" --Floyd Patterson
True, true, true…I would defend Cus by saying, his relationship with Floyd was love, and he just wanted Floyd to 1) Never suffer 2) Be proud of himself 3) Succeed-Win as much as possible. When your love for them, was not conditional on whether or not they became anything to the rest of the world, and understand when greedy or corrupt people could ruin or severely damage all of the goodness that has come from their relationship, and all that he’s gained through boxing. That very thing did happen, not to Floyd…But, to Iron Mike.
This is exactly what my Father said and felt. This is why he gave Liston, who nobody wanted as champion, a rightful and well deserved shot at the title
a true Warrior, totally made up for his 1st performance against Ali when his back went out. Patterson vs Chuvalo is my favorite Patterson performance. Also he was amazing against Ellis. Ali just had too much reach and speed for the guy.
He never regained the title AFTER Liston fights, but don't forget that BEFORE those fights he was the first heavyweight champion to regain the title, versus Ingemar Johansson, also beating him in the rubber match via 6th KO. 'nuff said.
@@emekaezeokoli1287had Patterson not been cheated in the title fight against Jimmy Ellis he would have been the first 3x heavyweight champion.
Patterson may be the most knockdown champion like the commentator said but u can't question his warrior mindset.
He took all comers, never ducking, even if he was almost sure he would loose.
He would still give it a shot.
❤❤Precisely
3:23 is the smoothest move I've seen against Ali
❤Muhammad Ali the greatest RIP you are GONE but not FORGOTTEN thank you for the memories and inspiration.
No fue el mejor no será el mejor de todos los tiempos. Lo siento.
So interesting to see flashes of a future Mike Tyson in Patterson’s style. He was, unfortunately, too small a heavyweight to carry the style forward until Cus D’Amotto found a massive beast in Mike Tyson.
scvzz
2x heavyweight champ. Patterson did carry the style foward
Patterson really makes me think of an under-powered Tyson. He was hitting Ali with sharp jabs and hooks. D'amato is one heck of a trainer.
If he was one heck of a trainer then tell me all the world class boxers with whom he was associated. Reminds me of George Gainford who always spouted off about his training Robinson, but who else did he have?
D'Amato did have Jose Torres as well but he, after a decent run to winning the 175lb titles, lost twice to the 67" tall Tiger and then what? Torres had the hubris to say that he thought he had the style to beat Ali - laughable.
@@paulweir5031 Patterson, Torres, and Tyson. If that doesn't grab you, then I should read up some more. But the only trainet with rhe same record to me is Dundee.
that's right, but if you look at Frazier, he got a bomb and got right back up! Foreman, who used to smash sandbags in practice, got to punch him in the stomach for 6-7 rounds!
Hardly any other boxer would have survived this! Ali's resilience was outstanding, but he paid a high price for it!
Mac, I wouldn't argue. A great trainer isn't always associated with a long list of champions.
Sometimes it's about how well he worked with a small few select fighters who had stylistically what catered to the trainers strength.
And sometimes you can see a Vast improvement of a fighter when he moves to a great trainer...but it doesn't always equal a championship. 🤷🏽♂️
Patterson was Cruiserweight. So many great fighters had to face opponents beyond their weightclass those days. Would be like having GGG versus AJ in the ring together today!😄
Patterson could weigh as much as 195 lbs. Ali's prime weight was 205-210lbs.
Your comparison seems hardly accurate.
Patterson in his prime was always on the 180 s. Go do your homework Sir.
Unmentioned is that Patterson wouldn’t even be permitted to fight the 218 lb Ali today; he weighed in at 188 pounds, a Cruiserweight. Aside from that, Patterson was 37 yrs old & acquitted himself well for his age, certainly better than Ali years later, when at 38, he fought the younger Holmes.
Patterson proved to be a real fighter here
despite being 37 years old
he landed several Good shots here
Ali always had a left hook problem, he never saw it.
Absolutely.
Are the 3 genuine KDs he suffered in his career from Left hooks?
Definitely points to a Left hook susceptibility.
@felcontheentertainer3314 ...Not all the time!
@wainerollins2587 ...Only when
Ali was careless and cocky. The Greatest was only knocked down thrice.
I think people don't realize it as much because Floyd always looked young from a distance even as an older guy but this fight was 20 years into his career, he had been plagued with serious back issues for atleast 7 years at this point which completely compromised his entire style as his peekaboo style bent with the back instead of the knees like Tyson. Almost every other great champion got demolished time and time again 20 years into their careers but Floyd was still a top contender in the most competitive era of heavyweight boxing 20 years into his career...
Top contender?!? 😂😂😂 he was getting fights just because he previously held the title. After Marciano retired boxing was in a short term lul just like when Jordan retired there was a opening where the rockets beat the Knicks and Magic , that was Patterson 😂. Then along came Shaq and Kobe’s lakers and Tim Duncan’s spurs, aka Sonny Liston and Muhammad Ali. 😂😂😂 Patterson is one of the weakest heavyweight champions in the history of boxing.
Good morning l could never agree .Patterson actually fought better in this fight than the first. Go watch again and score the fights with Ellis and Quarry without the commentary. I am sure you would then agree Floyd was robbed in those three fights. Patterson became a better boxer after losing his title to Liston. He would never have beaten Ali Liston Foreman or Frazier but Floyd was no bum. He was a better champion than Martin Seldon Martin Ellis and Norton just to name a few. To add to his achievements just remember he was really a light heavyweight fighting heavyweights.
Acho Ali fantástico. O maior de todos. Sempre fiquei curioso com esse soco lateral que ele dava, parecia uma patada de gato e nem parecia ser forte, mas tinha um efeito devastador
May Allah grant you janat Firidaus 🙏🙏🙏 may your soul rest in enternal paradise en peace 🙏🙏🙏 our true boxing legend
In paradise with 72 virgins mashallah

@@XiDooDiX No more virgins.Ha ha...Only in the dreams...😊But, much love for Muhammad Ali.I will remeber him forever.❤👑
Delusional comment
If Floyd had been 12-13 years younger for this fight, it would have looked different. While Ali would still have won most likely,
But it would have been a closer fight. Floyd's biggest problem was he was an inbetween weight. Just a slight bit above light heavyweight but not a real heavyweight.
Floyd needs money,Ali was just helping him,by giving him a chance to fight...
Is it true,well maybe or maybe not.Anyway those era was the best of boxing.❤
Nothing could ruin a great fight like putting Howard Cosell behind the microphone.
So many sports fans criticize and dislike Cosell. For me he was the best. He called it like he saw it unlike the soft announcers of today. Perhaps he was disliked simply because he was a Jewish New Yorker. If we had Frank Gifford or Bob Costas using Cosell’s words nobody would have a problem with them.
Agreed 100%. Marciano would have been destroyed in 7 rounds. Ali was in a class by himself, not only as a fighter but as Human being. RIP Greatest.
U are 💯 PC CORRECT
❤absolutely CORRECT and true
Only because Rocky was a cruiserweight
No way. Patterson is not close to Marciano . Patterson doesn't have Marciano's chin. Rocky 's pressure is enormous compared to Floyd. Even Floyd stood 7 rounds at old age. Prime Marciano was manifold times better.
@@sidharthk2793 stop it. Marciano would have walked right into several uppercuts with his fighting style.
I loved Muhammed Ali
Me too.Forever Muhammad Ali.I will remember.❤👑
This is like a video game that allows you to mismatch weight classes.
While Paterson was indeed smaller, his lack of not being able to avoid certain shots, as well as not being able to push forward with his style like a Frazier could, did him in more than his size. He was able to hit Ali when he wanted with left hooks and right leads, and did well punishing the body.
LEGENDS!🥊🥊🥊
A pro Ali commentator all day long. Sheesh 😮
Ali really hated Patterson who he saw as an Uncle Tom. I think he could have knocked him out but he wanted to punish him.
I've seen both fights on UA-cam and I thought Patterson did better against Ali the second time around! Although arguably stronger than his younger self, Ali wasn't nearly as fast on his feet as he once was. Both fights are still awesome!
“Hey Floyd! I seen ya! Someday I’m gonna whup ya!”
That was what Ali (then Clay) said when they ran into each other in 1960. Clay was only 18, still an amateur and was contending for the 1960 Olympic gold medal in Moscow.
All these years later and I'm still muting Howard.
Cosell was the best. Always called it like he saw it. Nowadays we have a bunch of bland politically correct talking heads. Some people didn’t like him simply because he was a Jewish New Yorker.
If there was ever a pointless rematch, this was it.
Que azar do Floyd... realmente o olho estava bem prejudicado. Ali passou a bater bastante no olho dele depois que notou o ferimento. Agora, Ali era muito bom mesmo, né... Floyd vinha bem e a torcida estava com ele, mas sucumbiu ante ao talento do campeão... grande clássico do boxe mundial!! Obrigado pela postagem.
Crowd was very anti Ali 😂
The vast majority of my generation and, the earlier ones, hated Cassius Clay (Ali). We think of him as being a loudmouth, draft dodging, egotistical Clown. A fake Muslim who cheated on every one of his 4 wives, 9 children from 6 different women. Great fighter, not the GOAT, but as a man, he was an immoral, and self-absorbed POS!
I mean like Patterson here was like 37 yrs old if im not mistaken , he didn't have the hand speed he was known for and was smaller than Ali so this fight isn't smthing impressive at all for me.
@@mr.finger9877 I mean like you are correct like Patterson was 37 like.
@@paulweir5031
Like I reckon it was like a fight like an old boxer and like a young boxer. LMFAO!
Muhammad Ali was a greatest heavyweight boxer of all time in my opinion
I always feel that Floyd size, weight is not for heavy-weight rank. He is too thin and light. He should fight at other weight rank.
Patterson couldn't fight in any other division, no way could he have trimmed down to 175lb; in his prime he wasn't outweighed by many as most heavies were much lighter back then.
If I am not mistaken, I think he won the Olympics gold medal at middleweight. 'nuff said.
@@paulweir5031 Indeed at that time I don't think that there was "cruiserweight" in existence. 'nuff said.
You never hear the good ol' sacroiliac mentioned any more.
Lol
Ali is huge.
6:30 what a Chin!!!
Does age have any play in any event? What were their perspective ages?
Ali looks like a slap hand fighter
3:24 a very unique punch by patterson
🔥
Floyd Patterson is my all time favorite !!!
3:23 was Patterson playing the matador to the matador.
ali's calves are unique -- very hard looking, and wide all the way down -- all that rope hopping, which he did more than anyone, is what i presume made those and was his main attribute -- to go along with everything else.
👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Patterson was a great fighter, despite being the smallest heavywieght in the sport. He was a able to whoop some great opposition. He will always be highly respected in the fight world..Nobody is ganna contest that, plain & simple!!
Ali era también el mejor por qué dejaba su espacio a los rivales para que se luciesen 😊
Date?
Flloyd's back was almost gone at that time in his career. He wasn't at his best the first time out against Ali either. He was scared against Liston and forgot his jab and combinations in the gym.
Floyd did better on the remach agaisnt Ali. Even Ali after the bout said Floyd surprised me
ALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍
Patterson would have fit better in lighter divisions. A very good fighter, but he looked like a middleweight.
Money and prestige is in heavyweight, he wont be remember as much as he is today if hesnot in hw
Back in the 50s and 60s Patterson was my favorite fighter before Ali came along. Floyd was a great fighter,a fine champion and a good,decent man. I was particularly sad when Johansson knocked him out and joyful when Floyd won both of the rematches convincingly. RIP
Call him clay thats what mummy called him.😅😅😅
Looked like a real mismatch...surely they were different weights.
Hi👋
Ali was like a big tomcat and Patterson the game mouse. Ali looked disinterested at times
Fu una delle grandi sceneggiate ordite alle spalle del " primo" Cassius Clay
Ali was the best of his day
Ali is the greatest ❤
Wow. So original. :D

By the time he faced Marciano he was suffering from severe glandular disorders that wreaked havoc with his physique. He was sallow-skinned, fat, and had a nasty boil on his neck.
Harry Matthews - 90 wins 7 losses with 58% KOs is a good B-level resume. Problem is he was a natural welterweight-middleweight moonlighting at light heavyweight. Matthews weighed 130 lbs vs. Joey Parks who also weighed 130. I thought this was the Heavyweight division? Shouldn't one have to beat credible Heavyweight opponents to be respected as a legitimate Heavyweight champion?
*Even Marciano's 3 best opponents; Walcott-Charles-Moore lost ((68)) times and were KO'd ((20)) times.*
IT'S CLEAR AS DAY WHY HE WENT 49-0:
D AND F-LEVEL AMATEUR WALK-IN BOXERS TAKIN-DIVES AND PADDIN RECORDS FOR $$$...NUMBERS DO NOT LIE
*In the old days, ringers could boost their income by fighting repeatedly. Padding your record against weak opponents can yield good results- the real stumblebums are the guys who make a career of losing. In small-time fights, the less-talented fighter often gets the bulk of the cash; he is, after all, providing a valuable service by losing so reliably--The Ring Magazine*
Little 184-lb Cruiserweight Marciano never faced an elite fighter in his prime. Name one, just one prime elite fighter Marciano beat? Failing to name even one proves my comment rings true. Show me any respected boxing publication or analyst that claims Walcott-Charles-Moore were in their prime when they fought Marciano?
In his own eyes...
kein Boxer der Welt hat so viel gehalten und geklammert wie Muhammad Ali
Cossell is so impatient.....Ali is the patient stalker.
Watching Ali-Patterson I, it was clear to me that Ali did carry Patterson. Ali was determined to show that he was a one of a kind first rate boxer vs. the knockout artist that he could have been if he so wanted.
@KamalShariff ...Ali could have knocked out Patterson anytime he wanted to. The latter kept calling the former "Clay!"
I dont think that floyd was pretty fast and if he was carrying he wouldn’t have taken shots like that
The main info should be the date…:-/
Of all the many many Ali fights I’ve see , his best asset was his head. Lol he didn’t really have power, speed, accuracy. He just took punches over and over
I think this fight was stopped prematurely floyd was actually giving ali a pretty good fight it would have been interestin to see it go long
Incredible how big today's heavyweights are compared to Ali, let alone Patterson. He couldn't be more than Cruiserweight at best, perhaps even light heavyweight? Interesting to see the Cus D'amato style here, that was later perfected by prime Tyson.
I didn’t know they fought twice…🤔
I lived in that era and didn't know Ali fought Patterson. I thought that Patterson
had already retired.
They fought twice because in Ali’s words: “Floyd needed the money.”
مع كلاي كلما سجلت نقاط اكثر كلما خسرت اكثر
Walaupun floyd patterson sudah tidak di masa primanya pada saat itu pukulannya tetap tajam, memang the best didikan di bawah naungan cus d'amato 👍
Ali juga sudah bukan di masa prime nya lagi
This match was scheduled because Patterson defeated Bonavena & secondly Ali had to dispel the fact he was beating on a cripple Patterson in 65. So he had to ensure that wasn’t the case.
Punishment. Not in the same class. As Marciano would have been humiliated. Too big, too fast, to strong and way too smart Ali. And could take the hardest punch ever. Ali was and will always be the greatest heavvy wieght champ of all time past and present and future. His best was better than any ones best.
Marciano had knockout power in both hands. Ali didn't. Marciano was a swarmer--like Frazier. Ali always had a tough time with Frazier, and lost to him in the fight that matters most (when both were in their 20's).
Ali could take the hardest punch ever? He had his jaw broken by Ken Norton, hardly the biggest puncher of all time. He finished the fight--and lost it. Don't tell me Marciano couldn't have done the same.
It would have been very close, had the two men met when both were in their primes--difficult to arrange, given their respective birth dates. I certainly think Marciano would have lost to Ali if he'd tried to make a comeback. Swarmers don't tend to age well. But the need to believe Ali could beat anyone at any time verges on the psychotic at times. He was beatable. And he was, in fact, beaten. More times than the record shows, because he was awarded a number of points wins he didn't earn.
@@christopherlyons5900 Having your jaw broken is no indication of the power of the punch, if your mouth is open then your jaw is liable to break; Liston, when laughing at Marty Marshall's antics, had his broken in their first go.
Marciano wouldn't have troubled Ali, Frazier was gifted the decision against a ring rusty Ali.
@@paulweir5031 If the ref had known it was broken, he'd have stopped the fight, and Ali would have lost by TKO. He lost in points because he was fighting badly. Many believe he should have lost the other two with Norton. Even Ali said he lost the third fight. But he got a number of decisions just for being Ali.
Ali had a great chin--no better than Chuvalo's, probably not quite as good. Chuvalo was never knocked out, or even down, but he still has two TKO's on his record, from Frazier and Foreman. Ali was better at avoiding punches than Chuvalo, and as I just said, he was technically TKO'd when his jaw was broken, but he covered it up.
Nobody is 100% invulnerable to being rendered unconscious, and never having suffered a stoppage doesn't mean you can't be stopped. Might as well say Marciano was invincible because he never lost.
@@christopherlyons5900 Marciano never lost bcz he only had a 7yr career while everyone else had 15 to 20yr careers. Nobody would even be talking about little cruiserweight Rocky if he went 48-1. Everyone automatically assumes he was the Greatest bcz he's undefeated. His "'0"' is the only thing that keeps him alive.

Cosell was such an Ali sycophant, most people couldn’t stand listening to him.
Floyd did pretty good until Ali decided to cut loose
If I remember correctly they said Floyd had a glass jaw.

Patterson just couldn't stay off the canvas.
You heard right about Floyd.
Floyd landed a lot of punches in this fight. Ali didn’t have the power to finish him.
9/20/72
Ein wenig Glück und Ali wäre besiegt gewesen. Immer dieses der beste der besten ich kann es nicht mehr hören. Tyson Holfield Klitschko, Fury, oder Lewis mit ein bißchen Glück und einen guten Tag da hätte doch jeder jeden besiegen können.
Ali was not Ali anymore
He tried though.
Floyd was pretty shot here. Poor balance and no hand speed, which was his great quality. Plus Ali looks so much bigger here. Pretty obvious mismatch and you hate to see it because Floyd was such a gentleman.
I wasn't at all impressed with Ali here. Fought a guy half his size and 10 years older.
@@scottodonnell7121 Half his size? When was Patterson a flyweight? Seven years older, by the way.
@@scottodonnell7121Ali was how many years older than foreman
Ali played with Patterson for the first few rounds. He could have taken him out in few rounds if he wanted to.
People forget Patterson was a natural middleweight beefed up to fight at heavyweight never gets the credit plus first champ to win the title back to
😊
This boxing match is proof of that Ali couldn't never catch his prime shape after banishment from boxing. As you may know when both of them encounter first time in 1965 , Ali beat him without make effort but after 7 years later despite patter was quite old he gave trouble to Ali. USA OWE A CAREER TO ALİ. No one would beat Ali's prime version inclusive lewis, tyson fury and m. tyson.
I'm not sure about "maximum" prime Tyson.
@@Der_Diskriminator In my opinion If mike tyson had possessed better endurance probably he would gave much trouble to Ali but unfortunately tyson wouldn't fight with ali for 15 or 12 raund. You can put forward idea that Tyson have fought 12 raund with giant boxers. Whereas they didn't anything to drain Tyson's stamina , most of them only absorbed many punch like punching bag from tyson.
Ez job for prime ali man
@@denissssss8579 ik
Ali's shape in '73-74 for Norton II, Frazier II , and for the Rumble was in great shape. lighter, leaner, faster, and more stamina than he was here in '72. "Dancing" weight, as he called it. that is the closest he got back to his short-cut '64-67 "prime".
I know Patterson wasn't the same fighter here but liston walked right though Patterson. Cooper was only about 13 stone 7 when he knocked down clay he was definitely saved by the bell also made the rip in clay glove bigger so give him more time . Yes he was brilliant boxer but in my opinion he's not so good as people make out.
He is pretty smaller than other guys but he had fast hands and was pretty skilled
Evander !!! He gets no love !!!
Ali is the greatest boxer ever
Ridiculous. Not even close. 1. Rocky Marciano: undefeated. 3. Floyd Mayweather: undefeated. 4. George Foreman: won back the title in his mid-40's. 5. Sugar Ray Robinson: a champ in three original classes, over 100 fights, many not even recorded. 6. Willie Pep. Fought for years, over a hundred fights, some not recorded. Fought a private bout vs. Robinson. 7. Jack Johnson: faced unreal racism, and still won. 8. Max Baer: drank and partied all night. Still won the heavyweight championship.
@@eriksturdevant8589 ok so Ur saying about them winning fight without a lost go a check out Julio Cesar chavaz he had 90 fight without defeat so he almost doubled Marciano and Mayweather so he must be the greatest boxer of all time since your talking about never lost a fight

Patterson's counter at 3:22 was very good!!
Me pregunto cuántas veces mejor habría sido mejor Alí si hubiera sabido golpear al cuerpo
Patterson looks half his size.
Maybe Ali is not the most hard hitting boxer, but opponents say he hit hard and not many can stand his accumulation of punches .
YA BUT I HEARD EDZARD CHARLES WAS THE ONLY BOXER TO KNOCK DOWN MARCIANO,, OTHER THAN JOE LEWIS IN HIS PRIME,, CHECK THE RECORD S!!!!👊👊👊👍👍👍💔💔💔
@Stout.Krout: Love reading your comments; Marciano fought bums and has beens, and Louis only held the title for as long as he did because of WWII, Sonny and Ali would have taken both of them.
Sonny may be . Ali no way.
Louis was a heavy hitter with extraordinary precision. Ali lost to Norton and Frazier. Louis would overwhelm him.
Marciano has unreal pressure.
seems Floyd is a better puncher, somewhat Tyson like. Could've won.
Is it just me or is cosell seriously biased in favor of ali
Peccato che PATTERSON fosse a fine carriera.....
Prime Patterson would outpoint almost every 70s version of Ali. Very underrated Boxer.
But he couldnt do it against Ali in 65
60s Ali beat prime Patterson
Rubbish, there wasn't a man on the planet who could have held up under the bombardment from the Ali of the mid 60s.
Man cmon are you serious lol
no way. ESPECIALLY not a '73-74 Ali who actually trained HARD and got down to 212-217.
Patterson gave a good fight, and I was rooting for him. With hindsight, Patterson had the skill and intelligence to have beaten Ali with a different strategy than how he was trained. I agree that Ali was GREAT, but was overrated. In the words of Larry Holmes: Ali was ONE of the greatest fighters"
How was he overrated
@@ascendantking2178he doesn't know 💯he's just rambling someone else's opinion like a 🐦
