It was that sweeping right uppercut at 5:38 that hurt Floyd. Ali proved that the only strategy that worked against Sonny was running and jabbing. You can only bob and slip so much.....
you could see what a mismatch this was when they stepped into the ring. Liston was much larger, hit harder. Floyd was really a lt heavyweight, and while he was fast and had a good punch of his own, had a glass jaw. Bad weakness to have going against Sonny!
I've always thought that if Patterson had shed some weight and moved down to light-heavy he could have been one of the greatest ever. He was just too small for the likes of Liston and Ali.
