    Years ago I stumbled across a film of the Floyd Patterson vs Tom McNeely fight way back around 1960.

    It was a damned entertaining fight, NOT from a scientific standpoint but from an action standpoint. I think McNeely went down something like 6 or 7 times and Floyd also was down at one point.
