Floyd Patterson (standing) and Archie Moore. Nov. 30, 1956<\/figcaption><\/figure>In 1956, the undersized heavyweight became at age 21 the youngest man to win the title with a fifth-round knockout of Archie Moore.<\/p>\n

But three years later, Patterson was knocked down seven times in the third round in losing the title to Ingemar Johansson at the Polo Grounds in New York.<\/p>\n

Patterson returned with a vengeance at the same site in 1960, knocking out Johansson with a tremendous left hook to retake the title.<\/p>\n

\n“They said I was the fighter who got knocked down the most, but I also got up the most,” Patterson said later.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
