    Floyd Patterson gave Don Grant a beating that he likely never recovered from. One of his career best performances at 20 years of age.

    Great post. Thanks for finding that. What a talent. Would've made a great Light Heavyweight Champion and Cruiserweight Champion. If he'd fought today he would've been all three probably.
