    I think Cus made it worse.

    Top fighters not getting there EARN title shots, trying to do eveything in his power to not give Liston the EARN title shot until Patterson said screw it.

    Yeah the mob ran boxing and was crooked, but at least the top fights got made.

    Anyone see the fight ? Not only did Pete drop Floyd but he actually very competitive for the first three or four rounds ... what the hell was wrong with Patterson as a champ I don't know but I do believe he fought better and defeated much better fighters as an ex-champion ...

    and the fact he knocked patterson down says a lot about why they were able to stage that farce.
