Before Mike Tyson the first peek a boo heavyweight champions was the incredible Floyd Patterson.

    Foreman wasn`t poison to the peek a boo in the late 80`s-90`s because he was so slow and Tyson stopped using the peek a boo in the 90`s anyway.

    Patterson's incredible peekaboo style "cracked" with Johansson, not to mention Liston.
    Tyson's peekaboo ended with a fight against Jynx Spinks. In the fight with Frank Bruno, it was Mike Tyson, but not peekaboo Mike Tyson.

    I love watching his fights. Very rarely in a boring one.
    And a great guy by all accounts.

    I wouldn’t call myself a big Floyd Patterson fan, but I do enjoy watching his fights. He was always in a good scrap, or at least an interesting one. Lot of heart.
