Recommended Posts

Former two-time Heavyweight Champion Floyd Patterson died Thursday at the age of 71.

Patterson is best known for having become the first two-time heavyweight titleholder in boxing history, winning the title in the late 50's, losing it in 1959, then winning it back a year later. He ultimately would lose the crown to Sonny Liston and despite four attempts would never regain it.
