floyd patterson's lights went out pretty quickly by the end of it
one of the founding fathers of slickness, quickness, the leaping left hook, etc.
here is what he looked like.
he was never much more than a natural LHW, weighing in the 180's in his prime. not "out cold" in each of his five stoppage losses, per se, but he lost via stoppage to some of the better HW of his generation, including two in a row in the first round against liston, where he was totally destroyed
want to know where mike tyson got his style? watch floyd patterson..
an unfortunate modern example is roy jones
lebedev nearly killed him
tarver and johnson really creamed him
and danny green is a legendary green punching machine who only left roy standing out of respect.Last edited by New England; 06-26-2012, 10:41 AM.

Black and White fighters are the best because of black and white. It makes you an ATG.

there is not a big list for that. Roy Jones is the only HOFer who got knocked unconscious more than once but I might be wrong.
Ingemar Johansson got knocked pretty much unconscious by Patterson in the rematch.
Ken Norton got knocked almost unconscious against Gerry Cooney. Duran vs Tommy Hearns.
Tony Zale knocked Rocky Graziano pretty much unconscious.
Jack Johnson vs Stanley Ketchel (for a few seconds).
But you have to give it to Roy Jones. He is on top of that list....
