It just scrolled across my screen.

Damn, thats a shame. Floyd was a legend, first 2 time champ, and pre Tyson the youngest man to win the damn thing. Seen some footage of the guy, and he looked well crafted, if a bit small at HW.

RIP.

It is a sad day in boxing. Floyd Patterson was a class act in every sense of the word.
