Was pattersons chin really that bad?
Not that. its just that his chin will do him no good
I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be, b/c he was like a super-middleweight fighting at heavyweight. Andre Ward or Carl Froch aren't gonna take the punches of a beast like Liston.
BUT, he did have a bad chin. Stopped by Ali, Liston, and Johannsson. Dropped dozens of times in his career. I get he was smaller, so his notorious bad chin is a bit overrated, but at the end of the day his chin was definitely not good.
Floyd patterson was a great boxer with a glass chin. Any boxer with power i.e. sonny liston will knock him out. You can't train a chin because it's a part of a fighters idenity.
I think he was not completely out like stiff and twitching, he was still getting up but in bad condition. Was he ever out cold ?
he was knocked out 3 times in his whole career.2 of those knockouts were handed to him by one of the divisions greatest ever punchers,Sonny Liston.
i think he is often underated especially when compared to bigger men,many of which i think he
would actually beat.afterall he took quarry's and chuvalo's power,beating a bigo man in
chuvalo,and climbing off the canvas twice in one of the quarry bouts.
the other man to ko him was johannson. patterson avenged that decision twice by ko
