Dia dua kali menjadi juara dunia tinju kelas berat antara tahun 1956 dan 1962. Pada usia 21 tahun dia menjadi petinju termuda dalam sejarah yang memenangkan gelar, dan juga petinju kelas berat pertama yang mendapatkan kembali gelarnya setelah sempat kehilangan gelar. Ketika menjadi seorang petinju amatir, dia memenangkan medali emas di divisi kelas menengah pada Olimpiade Musim Panas 1952.
 
Pada tahun 1956 dan 1960 Patterson terpilih sebagai Fighter of the Year oleh Majalah [[The Ring magazine Fighter of the Year|''The Ring'']] dan [[Sugar Ray Robinson Award|Boxing Writers Association of America]]. Dia dimasukkan ke dalam [[International Boxing Hall of Fame]] pada tahun 1991.

[[File:Floyd Patterson 1957.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Patterson intahun 1957]]
Meskipun Patterson bertanding dengan bobot tubuh di sekitar batas maksimal kelas berat ringan dalam sebagian besar pertandingan awalnya, dia dan manajernya, Cus D'Amato, selalu punya rencana bertanding dalam perebutan gelar juara kelas berat. Pada kenyataannya, D'Amato dengan jelas mengungkapkan rencana itu pada tahun 1954, ketika dia berkata kepada media bahwa Patterson menginginkan gelar kelas berat.<ref>{{cite book |editor-last=Weston |editor-first=Stanley |title=The Best of the Ring |url=https://archive.org/details/bestofringbibleo0000unse |publisher=Bonus Books |year=1996 |location=Chicago |page=[https://archive.org/details/bestofringbibleo0000unse/page/183 183] |isbn=1-56625-056-0}}</ref> Namun, setelah [[Rocky Marciano]] mengumumkan pensiunnya sebagai Juara Dunia Tinju Kelas Berat World pada tanggal 27 April 1956, Patterson mendapatkan status penantang teratas di kelas berat ringan oleh majalah [[The Ring (magazine)|The ''Ring'']]. Setelah pensiunnya Marciano diumumkan, Jim Norris dari [[International Boxing Club]] menyatakan bahwa Patterson adalah salah satu dari enam petinju yang akan ambil bagian dalam turnamen eliminasi untuk menentukan penerus gelar Marciano. ''The Ring'' kemudian menempatkan Patterson sebagai nomor lima dalam pemeringkatan di kelas berat.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Daniel |first=Dan |title="I Won't Be Back," Says Marciano |journal=The Ring |volume=84 |issue=8 |pages=90–91 |date=August 2005}}</ref>
 
====Patterson vs. Moore====
Setelah mengalahkan [[Tommy Hurricane Jackson|Tommy "Hurricane" Jackson]] dalam pertandingan eliminasi, Patterson menghadapi Juara Kelas Berat Ringan, [[Archie Moore]], pada tanggal 30 November 1956 dalam pertandingan perebutan gelar Juara Dunia Kelas Berat. Dia membuat Moore KO pada ronde kelima dan menjadi Juara Dunia Kelas Berat termuda dalam sejarah. Kala itu dia berusaia 21 tahun, 10 bulan, 3 minggu, dan 5 hari. Dia adalah pemegang medali emas Olimpiade pertama yang memenangkan gelar juara tinju profesional kelas berat.

====Patterson vs. Johansson I, II, & III====
Setelah menjalani sejumlah pertandingan untuk mempertahankan gelar dengan melawan beberapa penantang papan bawah (Hurricane Jackson, [[Pete Rademacher]], Roy Harris,<ref name=tloftphrs>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=oSZYAAAAIBAJ&sjid=FPcDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5771%2C3592396 |newspaper=Spokane Daily Chronicle |location=Washington |agency=Associated Press |title=Tale of the tape |date=August 18, 1958 |page=15 |access-date=2022-04-17 |archive-date=2022-06-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220621220242/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=oSZYAAAAIBAJ&sjid=FPcDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5771%2C3592396 |dead-url=no }}</ref> dan [[Brian London]]), Patterson bertemu dengan [[Ingemar Johansson]], petinju asal Sweden yang kala itu berstatus sebagai penantang pertama. Ini adalah pertandingan pertama dari tiga perjumpaan mereka. Johansson mengalahkan Patterson pada tanggal 26 Juni 26 1959. Wasit [[Ruby Goldstein]] menghentikan pertandingan pada ronde ketiga setelah petinju asal Swedia itu merobohkan Patterson tujuh kali. Johansson menjadi petinju Swedia pertama yang menjadi Juara Dunia Kelas Berat, dan menjadi pahlawan nasional karena merupakan petinju Eropa pertama yang mengalahkan petinju Amerika dalam perebutan gelar juara sejak tahun 1933.
 
Patterson menang KO atas Johansson pada ronde kelima dalam pertandingan kedua mereka yang digelar tanggal 20 Juni 1960. Dia menjadi petinju pertama dalam sejarah yang kembali mendapatkan gelar Juara Dunia Tinju Kelas Berat Tak Terbantahkan. Johansson roboh di kanvas dengan keras. Dia seperti pingsan sebelum mendarat dengan punggungnya. Dengan mata sayu dan darah yang menetes dari mulutnya serta kaki yang gemetaran, dia dinyatakan KO. Johansson terbaring tidak sadar selama lima menit sebelum dibantu untuk duduk di atas kursi.

Pertandingan ketiga di antara mereka digelar tanggal 13 Maret 1961. Meskipun Johansson sempat merobohkan Patterson, Patterson berhasil mempertahankan gelarnya dengan kemenangan KO pada ronde keenam dalam pertandingan terakhir mereka. Dalam pertandingan itu, Patterson dua kali dijatuhkan, sedangkan Johansson sekali pada ronde pertama. Johansson mendaratkan tangannya di atas pukulan jab kiri Floyd. Bangkit setelah jatuh untuk kedua kalinya, Floyd meninggalkan jabnya dan melancarkan pukulan ''hook'' kiri yang merobohkan Johansson. Setelah itu, Patterson mulai menyerang dengan pukulan kuat ke arah badan yang membuat letih Johansson. Pada ronde keenam, Johansson memukul Patterson dengan pukulan tangan kanan yang keras. Namun, kekuatan pukulan Ingemar telah hilang. Dalam pertandingan itu, Patterson menang KO pada ronde keenam.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://boxingmemories.com/2011/03/11/the-10-greatest-heavyweight-fights-of-all-timefloyd-patterson-vs-ingemar-johansson-3/ |title=The 10 Greatest Heavyweight Fights of All Time, Floyd Patterson vs. Ingemar Johansson 3. |publisher=boxingmemories.com |access-date=2011-03-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110812201816/http://boxingmemories.com/2011/03/11/the-10-greatest-heavyweight-fights-of-all-timefloyd-patterson-vs-ingemar-johansson-3/ |archive-date=2011-08-12 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
 
Setelah pertandingan ketiga melawan Johansson, Patterson mempertahankan gelarnya di [[Maple Leaf Gardens|Toronto]] pada tanggal 4 December 1961. Dia melawan Tom McNeeley dan menang KO pada ronde keempat.<ref name=dfdsti>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=07BeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=py8MAAAAIBAJ&pg=4012%2C583736 |work=Lewiston Morning Tribune |location=(Idaho) |agency=Associated Press |title=Patterson defends his title |date=December 4, 1961 |page=6 |access-date=2022-04-17 |archive-date=2022-06-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220622152807/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=07BeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=py8MAAAAIBAJ&pg=4012%2C583736 |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref name=pkodg>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=1LBeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=py8MAAAAIBAJ&pg=4018%2C729123 |work=Lewiston Morning Tribune |location=(Idaho) |agency=Associated Press |title=Patterson knocks out dead-game McNeeley in fourth |date=December 5, 1961 |page=8 |access-date=2022-04-17 |archive-date=2022-06-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220621203843/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=1LBeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=py8MAAAAIBAJ&pg=4018%2C729123 |dead-url=no }}</ref> Namun, dia tidak melawan penantang nomor satu, yakni [[Sonny Liston]]. Ini sebagian karena Cus D'Amato tidak ingin Patterson berada dalam satu ring dengan seorang petinju yang punya hubungan dengan mafia. Alhasil, D'Amato menolak pertandingan apa pun yang melibatkan [[International Boxing Club|IBC]]. Pada akhirnya, karena sengketa uang dengan [[Jimmy Jacobs (handballer)|Jimmy Jacobs]], Patterson tidak lagi mempekerjakan D'Amato sebagai manajernya dan setuju untuk melawan Liston.
 
====Patterson vs. Liston I & II====
 
Menjelang pertandingan, Liston dijagokan dalam taruhan, meskipun ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'' memprediksi Patterson bakal menang dalam pertandingan 15 ronde. [[James J. Braddock|Jim Braddock]], [[Jersey Joe Walcott]], [[Ezzard Charles]], [[Rocky Marciano]], dan [[Ingemar Johansson]] menjagokan Patterson menang. Pertandingan itu juga membawa sejumlah implikasi sosial. Hubungan Liston mafia diketahui luas dan [[National Association for the Advancement of Colored People|NAACP]] khawatir harus berurusan dengan about having to deal with Liston's visibility sebagai juara dunia dan mendesak Patterson untuk tidak melawan Liston, takut kemenangan Liston bakal mengganggu gerakan hak sipil.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=boyd/080508 |title=Esquire covers commemorate boxing's prime |work=ESPN.com |date=May 8, 2008 |access-date=2022-04-17 |archive-date=2015-05-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150514012831/http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=boyd/080508 |dead-url=no }}</ref> Patterson berujar bahwa [[John F.

Gelar Patterson direbut Liston di Chicago pada tanggal 25 September 1962 karena kalah KO pada ronde pertama di depan 18.894 penonton. Dua petinju itu terlihat sangat berbeda. Di dalam ring, ukuran tubuh Liston dan kekuatannya terbukti terlalu besar untuk dilawan dengan kecerdikan dan kelincahan Patterson. Namun, Patterson tidak memanfaatkan kecepatannya. Menurut penulis ''Sports Illustrated,'' Gilbert Rogin, Patterson cukup banyak memukul dan kerap berusaha merangkul Liston. Liston berulang kali memukul keras Patterson pada area badannya dan kemudian dikurangi, selanjutnya melancarkan dua pukulan ''hook'' tinggi ke arah kepala Patterson. Hasilnya adalah kemenangan KO tercepat ketiga dalam sejarah tinju.<ref>Gregory, Sam.

Selepas pertandingan itu, muncul pertanyaan apakah pertandingan tersebut telah diatur demi bisa mengelar pertandingan ulang yang lebih banyak menghasilkan uang. Dalam semalam, Patterson tampak kehilangan dukungan dari publik karena cepat sekali dibuat KO.<ref>Rogin, Gilbert (October 8, 1962) [http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1147918/index.htm "The Facts About The Big Fight"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101123125852/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1147918/index.htm |date=2010-11-23 }}. sportsillustrated.cnn.com</ref> Meskipun kalah, Patterson mengantongi $2 juta, to be paid over 17 years.<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=September 26, 1962|page=1|title=Patterson's $2-Mil.

Pertandingan kedua direncanakan digelar pada bulan April 1963. Namun, Liston mengalami cedera lutut setelah mengayunkan tongkat golf club sehingga pertandingan diundur tiga bulan hingga tanggal 22 Juli 2963. Di Las Vegas malam itu, Patterson berusaha menjadi petinju pertama yang memenangkan gelar kelas berat sebanyak tiga kali. Sayangnya, Liston kembali membuatnya KO pada ronde pertama. Patterson bertahan empat detik lebih dalam daripada saat pertandingan pertama.
 
===Setelah kehilangan gelar===
Setelah kekalahan yang didapatkannya, Patterson mengalami depresi. Namun, dia pada akhirnya pulih dan kembali memenangkan sejumlah pertandingan, termasuk kemenangan besar atas [[Eddie Machen]] dan [[George Chuvalo]]. Pertandingan antara Patterson dan Chuvalo memenangkan penghargaan "[[The Ring magazine Fight of the Year|Fight of the Year]]" dari majalah ''The Ring''.<ref>{{cite news |title=On This Day: Floyd Patterson and George Chuvalo clash in unforgettable non-title fight |url=http://www.boxingnewsonline.net/on-this-day-floyd-patterson-and-george-chuvalo-clash-in-unforgettable-non-title-fight/ |work=Boxing News |date=February 1, 2018 |access-date=July 16, 2018 |archive-date=2023-03-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230324005931/https://www.boxingnewsonline.net/on-this-day-floyd-patterson-and-george-chuvalo-clash-in-unforgettable-non-title-fight/ |dead-url=no }}</ref>
 
==== Muhammad Ali ====
Patterson kini menjadi penantang nomor satu bagi [[Muhammad Ali]] yang berstatus juara dunia. Pada tanggal 22 November 1965 di Las Vegas dia kembali berusaha menjadi petinju pertama yang memenangkan gelar juara dunia sebanyak tiga kali. Patterson bertanding dalam keadaan sendinya mengalami ''sacro-iliac'' dalam pertandingan yang didominasi oleh Ali.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2006-05-11-floyd-patterson-obit_x.htm |work=USA Today |title=Ex-heavyweight boxer Floyd Patterson, 71, dies |first=Chuck |last=Johnson |date=2006-05-11 |access-date=2010-05-02 |archive-date=2012-05-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120516234916/http://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2006-05-11-floyd-patterson-obit_x.htm |dead-url=no }}</ref> Ali menyebut Patterson sebagai "Paman Tom" karena menolak memanggilnya Muhammad Ali (Patterson terus memanggil Ali sebagai Cassius Clay) dan sikapnya yang blak-blakan terhadap muslim kulit hitam.<ref>Hauser, Thomas (November 2, 2003) [https://web.archive.org/web/20070316002449/http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,1072751,00.html Ali: The Legacy].

==== Penghujung karier ====
Patterson tetap menjadi penantang yang sah. Pada tahun 1966 dia pergi ke Inggris dan menang KO atas petinju Inggris [[Henry Cooper (boxer)|Henry Cooper]] pada ronde keempat di Wembley Stadium.

Ketika Ali dicopot gelarnya karena menolak wajib militer, [[World Boxing Association]] menggelar turnmaen dengan delapan peserta untuk menentukan pewaris gelar Ali. Patterson melawan [[Jerry Quarry]] tahun 1967 dan mendapatkan hasil imbang. Pada pertandingan kedua yang digelar empat bulan kemudian, Patterson kalah secara kontroversial. Quarry menang angka dalam pertandingan berlangsung 12 ronde.
