Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Heavyweight Champion of the world, Floyd Patterson, packed a loser’s suitcase. He was champion, the youngest man ever to win the title, but he was also doubt-addled. He knew he had to beware: Liston’s left jab was as powerful as another man’s cross.

#2 Floyd was backed by the media and public, who thought he would beat Liston. However, he was extremely nervous and afraid of losing. He was a champion in the sense that Chester A. Arthur had been president.

#3 Floyd was prepared to lose the fight with Liston. He had lost before, first to Joey Maxim in 1954, and then to Ingemar Johansson in 1959. He had no great advantage he could call his own. He had never deserved any recognition or belonging in the first place.

#4 Floyd Patterson was afraid of getting hurt, but he was terrified of losing. He was one step closer to the slum he came from.
