    :rofl Patterson is one of the hws with the biggest hearts ever. Getting up again and again against one of the hardest punchers ever, giving him a rematch despite having been destroyed in one round and saying if he would win that one he´d fight him a third time is no heart. Yeah, right. :lol:

    He's quite a good actor in all seriousness. He was involved with drama before he became a rapper, and he's one of the few who is good at both. I think he's got the acting chops to pull off a character with the complexity of Floyd Patterson.

    It's always surprised me that there's never been a movie based on him. I know he had his critics and whatnot, but he was a fascinating man and the link with Cus D'Amato could be used to publicise it. I'd settle for an HBO TV movie.

    Absolutely..:thumbsup..I don't think any modern day actor would do him justice in a movie..hollywood would have to tinker and mess with his character to make him some crass, racist ******* somehow.
