    Patterson was only 2 years removed from winning the title, though I agree it wasn't a peak Patterson who lost to Maxim

    He did drop Louis 3 times. The 1947 version of Louis he arguably beat was better than prime Patterson.

    If he weighed under 170 then he clearly wasn't struggling to make light heavyweight lol

    Do your homework before playing the snickering game. You're wrong, period. Learn and move on.
