Subtitles: no / not known
The intense rivalry between Floyd Patterson and Ingemar Johansson produced a dramatic, three-fight series for the heavyweight championship of the world between 1959 and 1961. Johansson’s three round win at Yankee Stadium, New York, made him the first man to take the championship out of America since Primo Carnera in the 1930s. History was made in the rematch, in the Polo Grounds, New York, in 1960 when Patterson became the first man to regain the championship - thanks to another sensational knockout. The third fight, in Miami in 1961, swung one way, then the next, in another exciting battle.
Floyd Patterson was champion for most of the six-year span from 1956 to 1962, but was he the best heavyweight in the world? There are those who say he studiously avoided the most dangerous challengers... including the formidable Sonny Liston. Here we get an opportunity to see Liston at his peak around the turn of that decade against Cleveland ’Big Cat’ Williams, Roy Harris and Eddie Machen... and against Patterson himself when they finally met for the title in Chicago.
