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.

I didn't know whether to believe it at first. But if it is definatly true then I have to say R.I.P champ. Great fighter and another champion to be made by cus damatto.

I would never lie about such a thing man. Patterson is a legend, he has my respect for all time.
