Nobody hit the speed bag like Floyd Patterson! First two time World Heavyweight Champion, he may have been knocked down more than the other champions, but he got back up more than any champion. Extremely underrated fighter.

I’m proud to say this is my Great uncle!!

Man floyd patterson on that speed bag incredible R.I.P floyd patterson.

In 1980 I was boxing in upstate NY. We had a match at Catholic Central HS in my hometown of Troy, NY. We were all in the dressing room getting ready for our fights, when Patterson came in with his team from New Platz. Being a big boxing fan I knew who he was right away. The first thing that I noticed was he looked a lot bigger in person, very wide shoulders and big hands. He looked like he still was in great shape. It was weird as I couldn't stop staring at him and when he walked by, he said how you doing kid? Good sir, was all I could say. It was a real thrill. I had a fight that night and won, but seeing him was the highlight of that day for me. LOL. Funny thing I recall that Cus D'Amato, Kevin Rooney and Teddy Atlas were all there that night. I recall that night clearly as the main event a pretty good fighter from my hometown was having his last amateur fight and then turning pro with Patterson being his manager. His name was Danny Chapman.

Cus found many gems and had a huge contribution to the sweet sport. Cus devoted his whole life to this sport. Rest in peace legend. He had an unparallelled wisdom and understanding of the sport. He was a scientist of the sweet science.

Oh man, the great boxers of history were so graceful. The way they throw punches looks so easy and lightning fast. It’s really something to see them go to work. Patterson was marvelous to watch.

imagine him as a light heavyweight, absolute monster...

Truly ahead of his time not a lot of people were explosive like that and have that leaping left hook. Gift from god

When Ali called him "the rabbit" it was actually a compliment in disguise. Floyd was one of the most jittery and quickest heavies of all time. Really explosive fast twitch muscles. Henry Cooper said his hand speed was higher than Ali. Underrated champion.

He was truly amazing, especially considering his size (190lbs), an all time great🐐💯

So dynamic. You can really see his fast, vicious power.

These type of videos always make me want to exercise. Thanks bruh

Watching this type of video gives you a hint as to what he was like as a boxer. You cannot deny that his punching speed is absolutely superb.

Pure and Raw talent!! True Legend. May he never be forgotten! Thank you for helping to keep his memory alive

Always happy when I see a new rainy day boxing upload

Never saw an old school guy move like that!

The greatest fighter to ever hold the name Floyd!

Probably one of the most under rated boxer

What a legend. Sweden salutes him.

Floyd was a bit revolutionary at the time. He had amazing footwork, handspeed, control of the ring, and defense

Nothing better than watching these before a training session, keep them coming. They are motivating, inspiring and captivating.

No fancy shit just good honest training. 👊🏽

This guy was one of a kind.

Great man so rare to see today.

Such a good fighter!! 💪💪

after his loss to muhammad ali in sep. `72 floyd never officially retired, he went to his home/training camp & kept up his training regimen. he loved the game, trained fighters including his son & kept himself in near fight shape, even though he didn`t fight again.

Great champ, and by ALL accounts, a terrific person as well.

One of my favorite HW ever !! What a gentleman and a beautiful boxer !! Good stuff

0 dislikes. There is hope for the world!

I love Patterson he's one of my favourites.

He had a heck of a punch.

Pure class and power. Rip Floyd Patterson and Cus D'amato

I wish cus was alive to further develop the peek a boo style.

This is why I love boxing

As Teenager, he was my favorite boxer....I think he still is.

Man Cus was Genius

Wish I could here this song for hours.

First time I have ever seen his work

Truly A Gentleman, Amazing Video As Usual

Floyd had great speed and a great style to his fighting positions. Great video man.I can see his style and Mike Tyson style very similar..I think Mike dipped down for the jabs and upper cuts more but very nice Floyd was here.

RIP TO COOL FLOYD PATTERSON YOU MADE YOUR MARK! HAIL TO THE CHAMPION BACK IN THE DAY! YOUR LEGACY WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON IN 2019!

Yes awesome ole school videos of the past. Patterson was well respected in the fight world. A true class act!

Man he is so perfect ! So fast, dynamic and genius IQ Also very humble We must keep teach how to love, another and life One of the greatest “legendary” Floyd ❤️❤️

Straight up, your videos are the best on all of youtube. The combination of footage plus the beats, I just can't get enough. I mean the music is so perfect

Love how you ended this! Good work man.

Patterson had beautiful boxing, great bounce on his legs and swiftness of a middleweight, fluid punches, one of my favorites.

My boyhood boxing hero! Patterson had the "fastest hands" in heavyweight boxing history. He could throw combo-punches of 3 to 4 faster than the eyes could see. His "hands-high" Cus D'Amato taught style would be used by two other D'Amato trained fighters, that would become champions. Jose Torres and Mike Tyson, along with Patterson, made D'Amato one of the All Time great trainers. When Floyd war "robbed" in both Quarry fights, he behaved like the Champion he always was. Not bitter and kept the outrageous decision inside. He was also robbed in the Jimmy Ellis Championship Fight later. A 15-round fight that see-sawed back and forth with Floyd winning most of the rounds, only to lose because of cock-eyed judges. Floyd as just a little past his best days when he fought Ellis, but he had trained hard, as he always did, and took it to Ellis. Ellis, at the end of the 15th round had a head swollen to the size of a number 2 wash tub. Nose broke, eyes swollen, and a bee sting look all over that beat-up head. Floyd capped his career with a great performance against Ali. A close fight that ended early from a cut eye on Patterson. Up to that point, 7th round if memory serves, it was anybody's fight. He was 37-years of age at fight time with Ali. A champion, in the ring and out. Proud to call him my boyhood hero!

I've been learning the speed bag. I'm fast but my God Floyd Patterson hit that speed bag faster than ever I imagined humanly possibly.

Very rare indeed

This is my favourite youtube channel from today

Love these rare training videos, and the music you pair with each fighter is perfect.

One title back then, therefore still the youngest HW Champion ever😉

Tyson is a Patterson who have bulked up

Thank you for this one

Very fast hands and extremely skilled Floyd was a brilliant boxer

Extraordinary speed !!!

A gem!!! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Rainy Day Boxing your labor is appreciated

Probably the most chilling training video I seen, dope tho.

awesome guy

Patterson, Ali, and Leonard - the three fastest pairs of hands in boxing. 🥊

Any old timers here remember his training camp in Highland Mills, NY (Mountainville) from back in the early 60's? There was an old 3-story residence on the grounds there that I lived in years later, in the late 70's. Anyone?

Nice upload, floyd was beast in his own rights.

Great video. Love watching Patterson fights.

You can't beat old school training!

Thank you 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Patterson and Tyson

Man this tune is smooth. Puts you in the mood.

he is nice

My favorite heavyweight

Floyd Patterson doesn't get the credit he deserves. Much respect to him. At one point he was the youngest Heavyweight champion of the world.

Fantastic footage

YES!!

A LEGEND!

Thank for great boxing footage from Italy,thank for motivation,amazing channel

wouldn't want to fight him in his prime...

1:13❤

Thanks for sharing.

I love your channel you should do a gatti highlight cuz most people don't choose good music but u have excellent taste, Ps maybe Cab Calloway?

Favorite fighter.

Woah that’s rare footage!

Floyd Patterson was a great fighter. Superb skills and lightning quick. Had Marciano not retired, I think Floyd would have beaten him for the title. It's sad that his legacy was spoiled by the two Liston fights, also the first with Johansson. He was over-protected by the cautious D'Amato and I feel we never saw the best of him. A true gentleman also.

Rainy day back at it again!

please keep making more

Amazing fighter, Lionheart

Good video cool music in the back round 🖒

Patterson really was good looking

Training is just like Mike I guess with the trainer being cus

Mondays are shit, until LeeWylie and Rainy Day Boxing publish almost at the same time a boxing analysis and Rare training video respectively... Auuuuuuuu

Fastest hands in the history of heavier weight divisions

If there was a cruiserweight division back then, hed be the 🐐

Your videos are quality you somehow manage to match a boxers style & character to the instrumentals.Keep up the quality videos 👍🏻

The peek a boo style...used by Patterson and Tyson....THE TWO MOST KNOCKED OUT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPS OF ALL TIMES!!

Felicitaciones Sr rainy... siempre combinando buen material de archivo con buena musica, la verdad que lo hace muy bien... siga asi.. un gran abrazo

That's a big like again Rainy.

Lightning fast hands.

Glad you finally found the footage for it after I asked

Mos def could play Patterson in a movie easily

Floyd's Handspeed Was Actually Faster Than Ali's!

Probably more than a coincidence but the way he hits the heavy bag made me think of tyson for a second
