A modest guy, certainly one of the fastest heavyweights ever.

 

wow the handspeed and head movement is amazing

 

Patterson was a great guy and a real overachiever but I think he'd only barely crack the top-10 today as a heavy. As a cruiser, though, he'd reign for as long as he chose.

London on the other hand may not crack the top-100 in either division.

 

That will be your little secret. If cruiserweights Admsak and Haye can crack the top 5, patterson can too. Patterson would knock both of them out.

 

That was just my way of saying hello to you.

Honestly, I think far too much credit is given to whole Cus bob&weave school, or even the Dempsey version. It has never promoted longevity for a fighter's career, can be construed as a large waste of energy and isn't all that hard to time for the right opponent.

It does look pretty on film when properly executed, though. And that's why I think many get a little too impressed with it.

 

Works real well against some fighters all the same.

 

Charles, moore, and louis were all shot to **** in this decade.
:heyExposed

 

:deal Agreed.
Seamus is blinded by ignorance and hatred.

 

Yeah that´s why Patterson was a world level contender for more than 10 years. :good
