Floyd IS an all-time great. Floyd was the youngest HW Champ in history until Mike Tyson. He was the first to regain the title, something Dempsey, Louis, Walcott, Liston and Frazier all couldn't do. He did so with one of the most devastating left hooks in boxing history, against a guy who had floored him 7 times and still outweighed him by 15-20 pounds

Best way to define Floyd Patterson was a 'dignified man.' Just a fine individual. Olympic champion......twice heavyweight champ. Solid fighter. The one guy he just couldn't match up with was Liston. Very competitive with everyone else. Not a GREAT heavyweight in the class of Ali or Louis, but so what. Floyd never boasted he was that great. Very professional. Nice intro by John Condon. I suspect Floyd gave Sonny a shot because he was a straight shooter. He knew Sonny was the #1 contender and to be a credible champ ya gotta fight the guy! I tip my hat to Floyd.

I would have liked to see Floyd get a shot at Frazier after this win in '72. Frazier fought Stander and Daniels in '72, both who were barely top 20. Frazier was severely diminished after his win over Ali and although he probably would have KO'd Floyd, it would have been more interesting than either Daniels or Stander.

Leaving such hate comments for what ? No one cares to pay attention to you anyway. Leaving derogatory statements here and there won't make you look or do any good for your own well being. The man was loved from everyone for good reasons. Why don't you try to see why ? Instead of wasting your energy this way.

This might be Patterson’s greatest win when you consider his age and how many times he’d been knocked down in his career.
Floyd beat Oscar. That was a golden victory for a comeback fighter. The native New Yorker lasted a long time. Floyd did just fine in spite of losses. He is missed.
Siempre es recordado entre los grandes del boxeo y el boxeo como espectáculo de multitudes.
Floyd winning fights at 184 pounds against legit HW Oscar
Johnny Carson spoke of Ali saying George Foreman telegraphed his punches and said that Frazier got the message.
i break down floyds strengths and weaknesses, come watch!
Reemus Boxing grandes exito de thalia
Reemus Boxing .grandesgrandes exito de thalia
Con razón Allí le puso conejo. Aguante Bonavena, grande Argentina!!
Porqué ése apodo
Siempre fue al frente ringo
El único que retrocedía en los combates era. Ali
Was sad what Happened to Oscar, a real old fashioned scrapper. Floyd as classy as ever. Good fight
Fight machine just so happen to be fighting in the Golden Heavyweight era very underrated.. in his heyday he fight everybody dude literally fought 7 fights in 1970 alone went 20 rounds strait with The Great Joe Frazier and 15 rounds with Ali both in their prime.. He fought 68 fights in just 12 years that’s 5 1/2 fights per year all by the age of just 33 sheesh that jus show his durability drive and will took on any challenge and gave his all every time… Rip Ringo
I would have liked to see Floyd get a shot at Frazier after this win in '72. Frazier fought Stander and Daniels in '72, both who were barely top 20. Frazier was severely diminished after his win over Ali and although he probably would have KO'd Floyd, it would have been more interesting than either Daniels or Stander.
Frazier didn't want Floyd neither did Marciano. They BOTH ducked Floyd for some reason. Marciano retired rather than fight Floyd.
Joe ducked MANY fighters including Floyd in the 60's, then Ron Lyle and Earnie Shavers in the 70's.
Frazier wouldve KILLED Patterson!
Frazier would have murdered every fighter all of you have mentioned maybe with the exception of Rocky Marciano. That's funny you think Patterson would last a round against Frazier as soon Frazier lands that left ,which will hit him much harder than Liston ever did, he'll be demolished . Why would Rocky Marciano an undefeated champion with 49 wins 43 knock outs retire because of weak young Floyd Patterson who had only 4 years of experience wasn't even known properly lol. He had no reason to duck Floyd haha Floyd is the one who ducks
Frazier would have beat Lyles and Shavers . They were nowhere near Fraziers level smh
didn,t see Floyd doing enough to win this fight, clearly a Ringo win
Joe Frazier won the gold medal in Tokyo in 1964, George Foreman won the gold in Mexico City in 1968. John Condon erred.
Smokin Joe, only got to the Olympics because Buster Mathias, who beat Joe in Olympic Trials broke his thumb and Joe was his replacement, and Joe Won the gold
@@JomoDaMusicManTrue, but it Mathis, not Mathias, and Joe kicked his ass in the pro ranks, a KO, or TKO, if I remember correctly.
Que gran leyenda Oscar ringo
Bonavena was not the shadow of that fight with Fraizer, Ali, Chuvalo was very much aware of his lack of training for this fight and Patterson won very well
Wow, I didnt know John Condon also was a ring announcer for boxing, I knew he did the knicks
Addie had suddenly died sometime-i believe-after the 3/08/71 Frazier-Ali Fight o' th'Century and the Garden brass were using different guys t'fill in during that aftermath
Floyd &:Mike were both adopted as sons by Cus D'Amato. I still believe that Cus's passing hurt Mike Tyson personally and professionally, more than any other single thing in Mike's life.
gran boxeador Bonavena
Patterson is truly a great champion. He KO's Henry Cooper putting him down twice an easily beating Bonavena. I wonder how he would have fare against Frazier.
Prime Patterson vs Prime Frazier. That woulda been somethin’.
frazier was to much for patterson good they never fought
Patterson vs Frazier wouldve been great, I think Frazier gets the best of him and wins by KO in later rounds though
Frazier wud of easily won…
I know this was not Floyd's last fight but it was his last big win. I am sure that at his advanced age and diminutive stature, it was dicey that he would handle this bull
Who's that headless guy?
Kind of tough competing for a title shot when the top contenders in your division are George Foreman and Muhammad Ali.
17:50
Hard to see how Patterson won unanimously. Floyd did not do enough offensively. Ringo knocked down Patterson early. My scoring card was 4-4-2. Draw.
This film (Colorized) is too dark to tell but Most of Oscar's punches are missing or landing on Floyds gloves. You might want to look for the original B&W WPIX Broadcast. I saw the original here on the tube and had a ringside seat for the live fight.
I assume Floyd wanted another shot at the championship but does anyone think he would have handled Frazier? A year later it would have been Foreman. He fought Liston twice so he was not afraid to tackle the best.
El mejor Bonavena ya había pasado, había dejado todo con Alí; un Patterson entrado en años lo venció claramente y le iba diciendo que, aunque solo tenía 30 años, fuera pensando en el retiro.
Claramente viste otra pelea
Bonavena era un personaje simpático, el típico ocurrente Argentino ,con los boxeadores más importantes perdió siempre ,pero era un buen tipo ,
@@rulialberico9520 Este comentario tonto lo hace parecer blandito. Bonavena peleó con los mejores de su época. Perdió sí, por puntos, dando y recibiendo HASTA EL FINAL. Incluso con Alí bancó los 15 rounds y si el árbitro hubiera mantenido a Alí en su rincón mientras contaba, no hubiera ocurrido la tercer caída antes de la campana. Aguerrido y con huevos bien grandes tiró dos veces a Joe Frazier. Un verdadero guapo del ring.
There was a Spiderman villain called Kraven the Hunter.
Vamos Ringo carajo
Rocky character had Ringo as a model... great theater
Sorry, Rocky was modeled after the Ali v Wepner fight.
Named my first cat after Bonavena
Condon announced some fights after Johnny Addee died, but not too many.
+Dana Preis I didnt know he did. I knew he was the announcer for the Knicks. Should have stayed as ring announcer, did a good job.
+Kevin Cordoba-Llanos Condon did a good job. The fellow that took over permanently for Johnnie Addie was Joe Bostic, who was no great shakes. But Bostic had to follow Addie who was obviously a legend.
Dana Preis Yea I loved John Condon as the Knicks announcer, better than all the shitty NBA announcers of today. He did a good job commenting the Norton vs Quarry fight and the Carlos Monzon vs Tony Licata fight. Yea Johnny Addie was from the old school, thats why l like him.
And boxing at the Garden was amazing in those days. I used to love the pre-fight introductions of all the former greats. So amazing.
Dana Preis Yea they dont do that anymore. Kind of sad. I like Addie and Condon because they dont try to make it about themselves, like Michael Buffer does. I do love Jimmy Lennon Sr as well.
For some reason Joe Frazier WOULD NOT fight Floyd Patterson. Patterson should have gotten a Title shot vs Joe.
Bonavena reminds me of Roldan the middleweight who fought a peak Hagler ….Roldan had a lot of success early of against Marvin because he was so ungainly, strong and rough …..
Ganó Paterson corriendo toda la pelea y encima Ringo lo volteó con cuenta hmmmmmm como se robaba en aquellos años igual q cuando lo tiro 2 veces a Frazier .....
Lo robaron en dos peleas por lo menos. Una vs Frazier 1.
Patterson's the One!
Corrio toda la pelea y se le cayo la tanga contra ringo. Yanqui mafioso
@@nahuelarce445 quien habla de mafioso.. jajajajaja
@@meximexico745 lógica pura de la época y además un argentino en estados unidos. Fijate vos.
@@nahuelarce445 que tiene que ver eso? Floyd patterson fue un gran peso pesado. Y fue entrenado por el mismo entrenador de tyson.
@@colorado2455 obvio que fue grande. Pero mucha mafia, basta con solo verlo

Fue empate grande ringo
Bonavena se lesiono su mano izquierda en el 4 round
Did he say Patterson had the fastest hands when Muhammad Ali was boxing
He had faster hands than Ali, but Ali was fast in everything, thats the difference.
@@T1Creator Patterson was the fastest and most accurate puncher. Ali had fast hands but had many misses which does not count.
YEAH, AND EVEN ALI SAID IT.
And now......let's hear from the experts.
Thank god they didn't rob a washed up close to 40th patterson here
FAIR
I have yet to see 'Ringo' fight what I would consider a 'clean' fight.
La idea que me queda es que en todas sus peleas iba una velocidad menos que sus rivales, como en cámara lenta, otra marcha
Bonavena won fight just one sided judges
Bonavena oeleo con los mejores con leyendas ..hoy los pesopesados son un fiasco a comparacion de bonavena y rivales
Bonavena Sparring jejjjeje
Digam sino , la leyenda de rocky no fue por ringo!!!?
Olvidate, es ali vs bonavena, hasta las mismas siglas, R.b.
Ringo strong guy
timing was odd, introducing all the former champs, while the fighters for this bout have to hang around getting cold.... （⌒▽⌒）
They introduced Joe Frazier as the "1968 Olympic Champion", but that's not correct.. Frazier won the Olympics in 1964. & He won the Professional Vacant Heavyweight Title in 1968
Look likes Oscar was the w Winnaar
I don’t think anyone has ever knocked down Oscar.
Except Ali 3 times for sure
@@user-er1on9yi9e I had forgotten about that. It’s was amazing.
Patterson is a great running man in this figth.
He never stood still.
@@kevinquinn3763 WAS HE SUPPOSED TO?
Ali called it he's riding his bicycle.
Combattimento.taroccato Bonaventura.si.e.venduto L.incontro
Esta boxeador casi acaba con casius cley
Bonavena won this fight and was robbed. Floyd left it too late to make up the points...
Ringo hera guapo y siempre para adelante fue el mejor peso pesado de sud america sin duda
Bonavena from down under? He had already faught Ali
I think he meant that he was from South America (Argentina), although I've never heard the term refer to any place but Australia.
AVERAGE
Floyd.
Zzzzzzzz...What A Boring Fight!!! 👎
Hu
Bonavena era un paquetey no muy cuerdo.
This was the stand out result of Floyd's later career.
