Floyd Patterson by Alan H Levy

Floyd Patterson delivered a number of knockout punches during his Hall of Fame career, but it might have been the fights he won beyond the boxing ring that made him great. This biography covers Patterson's meteoric rise as boxer while giving equal attention to the boxer's life away from sport.
“wonderfully written..first full biography...an excellent study...a superior source on professional boxing from the mid–1950s through the mid–1970s. Highly recommended”—Library Journal; “a welcome addition”—The Midwest Book Review; “very worthwhile...recommended”—Boxing Monthly; “extremely well researched and written...highly recommend[ed]”—Cyber Boxing Zone.
Alan H. Levy is a professor of history at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania. He is the author of numerous titles, including books about baseball, football, boxing, and American music.
