    He was the adopted son of Floyd Patterson and I think I may have seen one of his fights 30 or more years ago. School me on him by all means

    Wish I could. I never saw a single fight of his on TV. Shocking really, considering how many fights he had.
    I remember reading an interview with him in KO magazine back in the day, but I can't recall anything about it.

    I think he and Floyd had a falling out at some stage, though I think they later reconciled.

    He seems to have been a fairly good fighter as well as having an affiliation to an ATG which makes it surprising that he’s not talked much about

    He was a pretty good fighter, I saw him probably 20 times or more. Floyd set a rule early in his career that Tracy wouldn't fight for a world title until he had at least 50 fights.

    Yeah, he definitely flies under the radar.
