True, according to Floyd’s own testimony, he did not put on the kind of per formance that made him proud. But we think that this thought ful young man is naturally self effacing. He wanted to give the public «hat he thought the public deserved —despite !he fact that the public has heen disdainful of Floyd in the past. At any rate. Patterson still is the heavyweight champion of the world He knocked out a formiable f o< v„_o n e who packs a devastating punch.

Perhaps some experts were smarting be cause Floyd did not measure up to them pre-fight predictions and em balm the Swedish challenger in the first minute. The hard fact was that Patterson himself almost cheeked out in the first two minutes Patterson announced before the . fight that, win or lose, he warded the bout to be the last between him and lngcmar—at least for the im mediate future. He said there were others who deserved a shot at the title and the loser in their bout should step aside for the time be ing. Sonny Liston deserves a chance more than any of the other top ranked heavyweights Before the ; fight and at a press conference fol- | lowing the battle Patterson said that Liston had unsavory connec tions He said the Philadelphia box er had to rid himself of these con nections before he would get a shot at the crows.
