Pada tahun 1956 dan 1960 Patterson terpilih sebagai Fighter of the Year oleh Majalah The Ring dan Boxing Writers Association of America. Dia dimasukkan ke dalam International Boxing Hall of Fame pada tahun 1991.
Kehidupan awal
Patterson lahir pada tanggal 4 Januari 1935[1] di dalam sebuah keluarga miskin di Waco, North Carolina. Dia adalah salah satu dari sebelas bersaudara. Savannah Joe Patterson adalah saudara kandung pertamanya yang berasal dari luar Arkansas, dia pergi dan berkunjung pada musim panas tahun-tahun awal. Sewaktu masih kecil, dia adalah anak yang nakal dan bermasalah. Keluarganya pindah ke Brooklyn, New York, dan di sana Floyd menjadi anak suka membolos dan pencuri kecil. Pada umur 10 tahun dia dikirim ke Wiltwyck School for Boys, sebuah lembaga pemasyarakatan untuk anak-anak di West Park, New York, yang dia anggap telah mengubah hidupnya. Dia tetap di sana selama hampir dua tahun. Dia bersekolah di sekolah menengah atas di New Paltz, New York dan di sana dia meraih kesuksesan dalam semua olahraga.[2]
Patterson mulai bertinju pada umur 13 tahun dan berlatih dengan Bedford-Stuyvesant Boxing Association Gym.[3] Tiga tahun kemudian dia memenangkan medali emas di divisi kelas menengah pada Olimpiade Helsinki 1952. Pada tahun yang sama dia juga memenangkan Kejuaraan Amatir Nasional Kelas Menengah dan Kejuaraan New York Golden Gloves Kelas Menengah.[4] Pada saat itu dia dilihat oleh Cus D'Amato, dan berlatih di Gramercy Gym.
Adik laki-laki Patterson yang bernama Raymond (lahir tahun 1942) juga menjadi petinju profesional di divisi kelas berat dan tinggal Gothenburg, Swedia, sejak tahun 1965.[5]
Hasil Olimpiade
- Babak 16: Mengalahkan Omar Tebakka (Prancis) dengan angka, 3–0
- Perempat final: Mengalahkan Leonardus Jansen (Belanda), pertandingan dihentikan pada ronde pertama
- Semifinal: Mengalahkan Stig Sjölin (Swedia) dengan diskualifikasi pada ronde ketiga
- Mengalahkan Vasile Tiță (Romania) dengan kemenangan KO pada ronde pertama
Rekor amatir Patterson adalah 40 kali menang (37 dengan KO) dan 4 kali kalah.
Patterson tangannya lebih tinggi, di depan wajahnya, daripada sebagian besar petinju. Para kolumnis olaharaga menyebut gaya Patterson itu sebagai gaya "peek-a-boo" atau 'ciluk ba'.
Karier professional
Patterson beralih ke tinju profesional dan terus naik ke jajaran atas. Satu-satunya kekalahan pada awal karier profesionalnya adalah kekalahan dari mantan Juara Dunia Kelas Berat Ringan, Joey Maxim, dalam pertandingan delapan ronde yang digelar tanggal 7 Juni 1954 di Eastern Parkway Arena di Brooklyn, New York. Patterson kalah angka dalam pertandingan tersebut.
Kejuaraan
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.[6] 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. 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.[7]
Patterson vs. Moore
Setelah mengalahkan 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,[8] dan Brian London), Patterson bertemu dengan Ingemar Johansson 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.[9]
Setelah pertandingan ketiga melawan Johansson, Patterson mempertahankan gelarnya di Toronto pada tanggal 4 December 1961. Dia melawan Tom McNeeley dan menang KO pada ronde keempat.[10][11] 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 IBC. Pada akhirnya, karena sengketa uang dengan 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. 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 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.[12] Patterson berujar bahwa John F. Kennedy juga tidak ingin dia melawan Liston.[13]
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.[14] Setelah dibuat KO, Patterson pergi dari Comiskey Park di Chicago dengan mengenakan kacamata hitam dan janggut palsu dalam perjalanan pulang ke New York. Selepas pertandingan itu, muncul pertanyaan apakah pertandingan tersebut telah diatur demi bisa mengelar pertandingan ulang yang lebih banyak menghasilkan uang. Overnight, Patterson seemed to lose his public support as a result of his swift knockout.[15] Despite the defeat, Patterson won $2 million, to be paid over 17 years.[16]
Pertandingan kedua direncanakan digelar pada bulan April 1963. Namun, Liston injured his knee swinging a golf club and the fight was delayed three months to July 22. In Las Vegas that night, Patterson attempted to become the first boxer to win the heavyweight title three times, but Liston once again knocked him out in the first round. Patterson lasted four seconds longer than in the first bout.
Setelah kehilangan gelar
Setelah kekalahan yang didapatkannya, Patterson mengalami depresi. Namun, dia pada akhirnya pulih dan kembali memenangkan sejumlah pertandingan, termasuk including top victories over Eddie Machen and George Chuvalo; the Chuvalo match won The Ring's "Fight of the Year" award.[17]
Muhammad Ali
Patterson was now the number-one challenger for the title held by Muhammad Ali. On November 22, 1965 in Las Vegas, in yet another attempt to be the first to win the world heavyweight title three times, he went into the fight with an injured sacro-iliac joint in a bout in which Ali was clearly dominant.[18] Ali called Patterson an "Uncle Tom" for refusing to call him Muhammad Ali (Patterson continued to call him Cassius Clay) and for his outspokenness against black Muslims.[19] Before the match, Patterson had said:
"This fight is a crusade to reclaim the title from the Black Muslims. As a Catholic, I am fighting Clay as a patriotic duty. I am going to return the crown to America."
Instead of scoring a quick knockout, Ali mocked, humiliated and punished Patterson throughout the fight but was unable to knock him out before the referee finally stopped the fight in the 12th round.[20][21]
Fading skills
Patterson remained a legitimate contender. In 1966 he traveled to England and knocked out British boxer Henry Cooper in just four rounds at Wembley Stadium.
When Ali was stripped of his title for refusing induction into the military, the World Boxing Association staged an eight-man tournament to determine his successor. Patterson fought Jerry Quarry to a draw in 1967. In a rematch four months later, Patterson lost a controversial 12-round decision to Quarry. Subsequently, in a third and final attempt at winning the title a third time, Patterson lost a controversial 15-round referee's decision to Jimmy Ellis in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1968, despite breaking Ellis's nose and scoring a disputed knockdown.
In September 1969 he divorced his first wife, Sandra Hicks Patterson, who wanted him to quit boxing, while he still had hopes for another title shot.
Patterson continued on, defeating Oscar Bonavena in a close fight over ten rounds in early 1972.
At age 37, Patterson was stopped after seven rounds with a cut eye while still competitive in a rematch with Muhammad Ali for the NABF heavyweight title on September 20, 1972.[23] The defeat proved to be Patterson's last fight, although there was never an announcement of retirement.
Retired life
In retirement, he and Ingemar Johansson became good friends who flew across the Atlantic to visit each other every year and he served two terms as chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission.[24] He was also inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1991.[25]
Patterson lived in New Paltz, New York for many years with his second wife, Janet Seaquist.[26] They had two daughters, Jennifer and Janene.[27] In 1982 and 1983 he ran the Stockholm Marathon together with Ingemar Johansson.[28] He completed the 1983 New York City Marathon in 3:35:27.[29]
His adopted son, Tracy Harris Patterson, was a world champion boxer in the 1990s and was trained by Floyd during part of his career. They are the first father and son to win world titles in boxing.[30] Floyd also trained Canadian heavyweight Donovan "Razor" Ruddock in 1992 for his fights with Greg Page, Phil Jackson, and Lennox Lewis.[31]
The New Paltz High School football field was named "Floyd Patterson Field" in 1985.[32]
Death
Patterson suffered from Alzheimer's disease and prostate cancer in his final years. He died at home in New Paltz, on May 11, 2006, at the age of 71.[33] His body was buried at New Paltz Rural Cemetery in New Paltz, Ulster County, New York.[34][35]
Quotes
- "It's easy to do anything in victory. It's in defeat that a man reveals himself."[36]
- "They said I was the fighter who got knocked down the most, but I also got up the most."[37] (This quote was used in the tenth episode of the 2009 TV series V.)
- "When you have millions of dollars, you have millions of friends."[38]
- On boxing: "It's like being in love with a woman. She can be unfaithful, she can be mean, she can be cruel, but it doesn't matter. If you love her, you want her, even though she can do you all kinds of harm. It's the same with me and boxing. It can do me all kinds of harm but I love it."[39]
