    And not as the boxer who became the youngest undisputed heavyweight champion?

    Really saddens me

    Let me clarify for you noobs. Tyson was the youngest title holder, Patterson was the youngest lineal champ. By the time Tyson beat spinks to win the linear title he was older than Patterson. there was no alphabet soup back then and only one championship. Get it?
