Boxing was very popular on radio during the medium's golden age. Floyd Patterson and Tommy Hurricane Jackson battled for the heavyweight crown at the Polo Grounds in New York in 1957. Patterson was the world heavyweight champion twice between 1956 and 1962. At the age of 21, he became the youngest boxer in history to win the title, and was also the first heavyweight to regain the title after losing it. Jackson fought Patterson in 1956 and lost in a 12 round split decision. We have the rematch. Floyd Patterson was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1991.  More at http://krobcollection.com

Marc McMenamin reports on the enigmatic "Gentleman of Boxing" Floyd Patterson, and his Irish connections.

Segunda parte dedicada a uno de los personajes más fascinantes de la historia del boxeo. En nuestro programa anterior dejamos a Archie Moore, por fin, como campeón mundial del semipesado. La suya fue una larga andadura, con más de 160 combates y 16 años como profesional. Tenía ya ¿36 años? Una edad en la que, en esa época, la mayoría de boxeadores ya estaban retirados. Sin embargo a la vieja mangosta todavía le quedaban muchos años como campeón, muchos retos por delante y muchas experiencias por vivir. Se enfrentará a tres grandes pesos pesados de tres épocas distintas: Rocky Marciano, Floyd Patterson y un joven Cassius Clay. Será, además, clave en las dos carreras boxísticas de George Foreman. Una vida dedicada a ayudar a los jóvenes más desprotegidos. Muchas vivencias, que le hacen una de las figuras más grandes y especiales de la historia del boxeo. Y siempre, siempre, con mucho jazz y mucha filosofía. Corte 1: “Close enough for Jazz”, Van Morrison Corte 2: “Drumming Man”, Topper Headon Corte 3: Nina Hagen “Sugar Blues” Corte 4: “Bring down the birds”, Herbie Hancock Corte 5: “The Cat”, James Taylor Quartet Corte 6: “Pasa la vida”, Pata Negra Corte 7: “Jazz on the autobahn”, Felice Brothers

MICHAEL FRANZESE UK TOUR TICKETS: http://tiny.cc/MF-remademan Sitdowns with Gangsters book: https://geni.us/SitdownswithGangsters Shaun Attwood's LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/shaunattwood By the age of 24, Big Joe Egan had over 80 boxing wins, 7 Irish titles and was a Golden Gloves champion. A mean body puncher with a durable chin, he went the distance with Lennox Lewis and beat future WBA champion Bruce Seldon.  Encouraged by Floyd Patterson to try his luck in the USA, Joe joined ‘Iron' Mike Tyson's training camp in the Catskill mountains with the great Cus D'Amato. Joe became like a brother to Mike, and, in this book, he gives a rare insight of the early Tyson, who after sparring with Joe described him as the Toughest White Man on the Planet. In the UK, opening a pub pitted Joe against protection racketeers. Armed with guns, axes and machetes, the organised-crime gang attacked Joe's pub. During a battle worthy of Braveheart, Joe and his friends stood their ground, and Joe was shot. Tragically, Joe was charged with attempted murder.

Diving into the story, lessons, and greatness of the greatest of all times, Muhammad Ali from Jonathan Eig's book: Ali-----2:30- Cassius' Reality"Why can't I be rich?"hHe asked his fatherLook there, his father said, touching the boys walnut-colored hand. That's why you can't be rich.4:20 - Misfortune to Fortune: The Stolen Bike7:20- The Goal His goal, he said, was to be the youngest heavyweight champion in the history of boxing. Clay was only eighteen, which meant he had three years to break the record of Floyd Patterson, who had become the champ at the age of twenty one years and ten months. 10:20 - Having a PlanI got a fight plan and I will do it when I can. But it would be the worst thing I could do to go in there with my mind all made up. I have been fighting since I was a child, and I do everything on instinct. Sometimes I wonder at myself when I see a big fist coming at my head, and my head moves without me thinking and the big fist goes by. I wonder how I did it.11:20- Fighting = ForgettingThe great fighter lose themselves in the void. They don't think about it. They ride the rush.17:50 - Champion MindsetMaybe I can be beat. I doubt it. But the man is going to have to knock me down and then I'll get up and he'll have to knock me down again and I'll get up and he'll have to knock me down and I'll still get up. I've worked too hard and too long to get this chance. I'm gonna have to be killed before I lose, and I ain't going to die easily.22:30 - Stand on Your BeliefsWho wants to go to jail, he said. I'm used to running around free like a little bird. In jail, you got no wife, no freedom. You can't eat what you want…being in prison every day, looking out of the cell, not seeing nobody…A man's got to be serious in his beliefs to do that.35:00 - Getting Kicked in the FaceBest thing that ever happened to me. I needed that. Thank you very much. Losing that fight was just what I needed. It made me humble. I'm going into the woods and will train at my camp. No more fooling around.Three Final NotesAli spoke of the meaning of his life,God is watching me. God don't praise me because I beat Joe Fraizer. He wants to know ho do we treat each other, how do we help on another.”On being scared,Years later, he would admit to friends that he had been frightened before every one of his fights. But he hid it beautifully. And once the bell rang, his fears vanished.On your purposeI got a feeling I was born for a purpose. I don't know what I'm here for. I just feel abnormal, a different kind of man. I don't know why I was born. I'm just here. A young man rumbling. I've always had that feeling since I was a little boy. Perhaps I was born to fulfill Biblical prophecies. I just feel I may be a part of something–divine things. Everything seems strange to me.-----Check out my new book Chasing Greatness: Timeles

12-4-2023 Passed Ball Show. John spends this program talking about the College Football Playoff and how the selection committee got the right four teams to play for the National Championship. John gives his reasons why, including the precescdent that has been set for teams that lose a game early in the season. John understands the frustration from Florida State fans over their team not making the top four in spite of being undefeated. He blames Georgia for that happening; a Georgia victory would have all but assured a FS top four spot. John then talks about the Baseball WInter Meetings and reiterates his belief that more MLB teams are willing to spend near the top tier for an individual player than ever before and why he would be surprised if the Atlanta Braves signed Shohei Ohtani. During today's #SavingSportsHistory segment, John talks about the first Grey Cup, the birth of the Montreal Canadiens, the first (forced) pro football Championship game, Kenesaw Mountain Landis allowing black players to be signed, Floyd Patterson, Masanori Murakami, Jesse Burkett, Lee Smith, and Shannon Briggs.

Big Joe Egan joins the podcast this week to tell his story and he's well and truly travelled The Rocky Road to contentment. Raised in Ringsend, Dublin, he took up boxing after being bullied as a kid and never looked back. His first fight was against future world champ Steve Collins and he went on to become multiple-times Irish heavyweight champ, which brought him into the orbit of Floyd Patterson, Cus D'Amato and a young Mike Tyson. He became Tyson's sparring partner in the Catskills, surviving savage rounds where others couldn't and even earning the moniker, ‘The Toughest White Man on the Planet' from the man who couldn't knock him down, try as he might. The pair became lifetime friends and Tyson even fought some of his early professional bouts in Joe's Ireland shorts, which he'd absconded with during a trip to the USA. Here, Joe delves into his amateur career and nights at the National Stadium, the support he got from his family, his anger at not being selected for Seoul 88 and helping to make an elderly Lugs Brannigan walk tall after a chance encounter in town. Joe also talks about his own pro career, the crash that effectively finished him, and life after boxing which saw him shot twice during an attack on his pub which featured from machetes, hatchets and shotguns, releasing his life story, after-dinner speaking and featuring in the movies. It's a hell of a tale. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Back in the 1950s, the heavyweight division was more or less held hostage by Floyd Patterson's trainer and manager Cus D'Amato after Rocky Marciano retired. A number of heavyweights during that time ripened on the vine, if not had a good portion of their careers wasted.

Muhammad Ali Quotes on Life, Champions & Boxing (Wisdom Radio) Who was Muhammad Ali? Muhammad Ali, original name Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., (born January 17, 1942, Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.—died June 3, 2016, Scottsdale, Arizona), American professional boxer and social activist. Ali was the first fighter to win the world heavyweight championship on three separate occasions; he successfully defended this title 19 times. Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., grew up in the American South in a time of segregated public facilities. His father, Cassius Marcellus Clay, Sr., supported a wife and two sons by painting billboards and signs. His mother, Odessa Grady Clay, worked as a household domestic. Serena Williams poses with the Daphne Akhurst Trophy after winning the Women's Singles final against Venus Williams of the United States on day 13 of the 2017 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on January 28, 2017 in Melbourne, Australia. (tennis, sports) When Clay was 12 years old, he took up boxing under the tutelage of Louisville policeman Joe Martin. After advancing through the amateur ranks, he won a gold medal in the 175-pound division at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome and began a professional career under the guidance of the Louisville Sponsoring Group, a syndicate composed of 11 wealthy white men. In his early bouts as a professional, Clay was more highly regarded for his charm and personality than for his ring skills. He sought to raise public interest in his fights by reading childlike poetry and spouting self-descriptive phrases such as “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” He told the world that he was “the Greatest,” but the hard realities of boxing seemed to indicate otherwise. Clay infuriated devotees of the sport as much as he impressed them. He held his hands unconventionally low, backed away from punches rather than bobbing and weaving out of danger, and appeared to lack true knockout power. The opponents he was besting were a mixture of veterans who were long past their prime and fighters who had never been more than mediocre. Thus, purists cringed when Clay predicted the round in which he intended to knock out an opponent, and they grimaced when he did so and bragged about each new conquest. On February 25, 1964, Clay challenged Sonny Liston for the heavyweight championship of the world. Liston was widely regarded as the most intimidating, powerful fighter of his era. Clay was a decided underdog. But in one of the most stunning upsets in sports history, Liston retired to his corner after six rounds, and Clay became the new champion. Two days later Clay shocked the boxing establishment again by announcing that he had accepted the teachings of the Nation of Islam. On March 6, 1964, he took the name Muhammad Ali, which was given to him by his spiritual mentor, Elijah Muhammad. For the next three years, Ali dominated boxing as thoroughly and magnificently as any fighter ever had. In a May 25, 1965, rematch against Liston, he emerged with a first-round knockout victory. Triumphs over Floyd Patterson, George Chuvalo, Henry Cooper, Brian London, and Karl Mildenberger followed. On November 14, 1966, Ali fought Cleveland Williams. Over the course of three rounds, Ali landed more than 100 punches, scored four knockdowns, and was hit a total of three times. Ali's triumph over Williams was succeeded by victories over Ernie Terrell and Zora Folley.

November 22, 1965. In downtown Las Vegas, thousands of fans come inside from a rare rainstorm to watch a boxing match featuring young superstar Muhammad Ali. But the lopsided crowd isn't cheering for Ali; it's backing two-time heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson. The two men have come to symbolize more than boxing, but an entire societal struggle.Today, why was Muhammad Ali—formerly Cassius Clay—such a polarizing figure across America? How did this boxing match embody an internal struggle within the Civil Rights movement? And how did it serve as a key stepping stone in Ali's evolution into one of the era's most iconic activist voices?Special thanks to our guests: Dr. Gerald Early, professor of English and African American Studies at Washington University in St Louis; Dr. Todd Boyd, professor at the University of Southern California and chair for study of race and popular culture; Jonathan Eig, author of the biography “Ali: A Life”; W-K Stratton, author of the biography “Floyd Patterson”; and Dave Kindred, an American sportswriter known for his coverage of Muhammad Ali.

Programa dedicado a Cus D'Amato, uno de los personajes más peculiares de la historia del boxeo. Distinto, atípico, original, singular. Una especie de santón, maestro, psicólogo y filósofo de la vida. Único e irrepetible, como entrenador y como manager. Fue el entrenador de campeones como Floyd Patterson y José Torres, pero realmente pasó a la posteridad como el maestro y mentor de Mike Tyson, el campeón mundial del peso pesado más joven de la historia. Aquí te contamos su vida, sus ideas, su filosofía y sus innovadores métodos. Corte 1: “Gangsters”, The Specials Corte 2: “Woodstock”, Crosby, Still, Nash and Young Corte 3: “Sock some lovin' at me”, Bobby Patterson Corte 4: “I think I'm paranoid”, Garbage Corte 5: “Lil' Red Riding Hood”, Sam the Sham and the Pharaos Corte 6: “Peek a Boo”, DEVO Corte 7: “September Gurls”, Big Star

Sean & Johnston present you their interwinding roads that began in the 1952 Olympic Games and lasted all the way up until 1961. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

SHOPIFY: https://www.shopify.co.uk/shaun Big Joe Egan's book on Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09VF42BCR Big Joe Egan's book worldwide link: https://books2read.com/u/md62QZ By the age of 24, Big Joe Egan had over 80 boxing wins, 7 Irish titles and was a Golden Gloves champion. A mean body puncher with a durable chin, he went the distance with Lennox Lewis and beat future WBA champion Bruce Seldon. Encouraged by Floyd Patterson to try his luck in the USA, Joe joined ‘Iron' Mike Tyson's training camp in the Catskill mountains with the great Cus D'Amato. Joe became like a brother to Mike, and, in this book, he gives a rare insight of the early Tyson, who after sparring with Joe described him as the Toughest White Man on the Planet. In the UK, opening a pub pitted Joe against protection racketeers. Armed with guns, axes and machetes, the organised-crime gang attacked Joe's pub. During a battle worthy of Braveheart, Joe and his friends stood their ground, and Joe was shot. Tragically, Joe was charged with attempted murder.

It is befitting that I leave the game just like I came in, beating a big bad monster who knocks out everybody and no one can whup him. That's when little Cassius Clay from Louisville, Kentucky, came up to stop Sonny Liston. The man who annihilated Floyd Patterson twice. HE WAS GONNA KILL ME! But he hit harder than George. His reach is longer than George's. He's a better boxer than George. And I'm better now than I was when you saw that 22-years old undeveloped kid running from Sonny Liston. I'm experienced now, professional. Jaws been broke, been knocked down a couple of times, I'm bad! Been chopping trees. I done something new for this fight. I done wrestled with an alligator. That's right. I have wrestled with an alligator. I done tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail. That's bad! Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick! I'm so mean I make medicine sick!DON KING: Bad dude!Bad, fast! Fast! Fast! Last night I cut the light off in my bedroom, hit the switch and was in the bed before the room was dark.DON KING: Incredible.And you George Foreman, all you chumps are going to bow when I whup him. All of ya. I knowyou've got him. I know you've got him picked. But the man's in trouble.

Frank Miniter is an author and investigative journalist with a penchant for outdoor adventure. He has floated the Amazon, run with the bulls of Pamplona, hunted everything from bear in Russia to elk with the Apache to kudu in the Kalahari and has fly-fished everywhere from Alaska's Kenai to Scotland's River Spey to Japan's freestone streams. Along the Along the way, he was taught to box by Floyd Patterson, spelunked into Pompey's Cave, climbed the Gunks, and graduated from the oldest private military college (Norwich University) in the U.S. He was a Senior Editor at Outdoor Life magazine and was the Executive Editor of American Hunter magazine. He is also the author of This Will Make a Man of You and The Ultimate Man's Survival Guide.  Favorite Success Quote “I like a man who grins when he fights” ~Winston Churchill Key Points 1. You Need to Stand Up for Yourself The evolution of society and rapid shift in perceived gender roles has created a world in which manliness and masculinity are concepts that are ambiguous and difficult to explain, at best. Yet no matter what your beliefs are pertaining to modern masculinity, I think everyone can agree on one simple fact. You cannot consider yourself a true “man” unless you are willing to stand up for yourself, what you believe, and those you love. I want you to imagine John Wayne, Steve McQueen, or even a character like Tyler Durden in Fight Club are sat at a table in a bar, surrounded by friends and family. A stranger from another table comes over and starts insulting one of his family members, bringing up some past feud and looking to cause trouble. What do you think they would do? Would they cower in their seat, avert their eyes, and start nervously twitching? Or would they get out of their seat, square up with the aggressor, look them in the eyes and invite them to leave before they had a real problem? I think we all know the answer. Being a real man has nothing to do with loving or looking for violence, but it has everything to do with being willing to take a stand for yourself or the things which you believe. In the 21st century, it is important to realize that this rarely (if ever) means physical confrontation. Taking a stand for yourself can be as simple as telling your boss that you need a raise because you have been working harder than anyone else and have measurable results to prove it. It can mean speaking candidly with your significant other about the way that they have been addressing you in public situations and informing them that their actions are inappropriate. And yes, occasionally, when all other options are exhausted, it can mean taking the gloves off and throwing a mean right hook when someone truly steps out of line. Never be afraid to stand up for yourself, your friends, or your values, because at the end of the day it is better to live a short life where you face your fears and live boldly than a long life as a coward. 2. Life is Meant to be Lived in Community  10,000 years ago on the plains of the Savanna, men lived in communion with one another. They lived together, ate together, hunted together, fought together, and died together. Town elders would lead the tribe and create rituals and rites of passage for young men to pass through in order to become a man. The warriors of each tribe relied on each other and trusted the men around them with their lives. And for hundreds of thousands of years, this is the way that we as a species, and more specifically, we as men, have evolved. We live in the most socially disconnected time in human history, and despite all of our technological advancements and the rapid growth of social media and other online platforms, the problem is not getting any better. Men struggle to find meaning and purpose in life, they are lost and confused about who they are and what it means to be a man, they are lonely and afraid and depressed, and it is due, in large part to our lack of community. We no longer live in tribes. If we wanted to, there are many among us who could limit our face to face interaction with others to less than once a week when we go out for groceries. Men no longer go to other men for advice and emotional support. We no longer have tribe elders who can guide us and mentor us. With the exception of military servicemen, we no longer have brothers in arms who have struggled through life with us and been there for us through thick and thin. And we are paying the price. Men are suffering from depression and suicide at alarming rates and society tells us to simply take another pill or get a new prescription, instead of being told to build a band of brothers. If you want to succeed in life, if you want to be truly happy and successful, then you need to have a group of men around you who you can trust, you need to have a community of like-minded individuals who will build you up and hold you accountable and who will be there for you when you are on cloud nine and rock bottom. 3. Manhood is Defined by Your Values and Your Code  Manhood has meant something different to nearly every culture throughout history. The Vikings version of manhood was markedly different from the Greek's which was markedly different from the Apache's. But the one thing that all of these ancient cultures had in common is that their ideals of manhood were derived from a code. Every great “manly” culture built their foundation of masculinity upon an ethos, a way of life, and a code of honor and conduct based on the values of their unique societies. For some cultures mercy and reason were at the forefront of their code, for others it was power and justice. The truth of the matter is, there is no one code that will work universally for every man. We all have different realities, different religious and political beliefs, and different lenses through which we view the world around us. This means that all of us will function under a different code and live by different values. And while it is extremely important which values you have and uphold (integrity, honor, service, and generosity should be at the top of your list) it is more important that you uphold a set of values that make you a better man and help you contribute to society in a more meaningful way. 4. You Need to be a Well-Rounded Man  So often in our modern society, we are quick to judge and label certain activities as unmanly, red neck, or “posh”. Many see hunting and marksmanship as a lower class activity for camouflage wearing, tobacco chewing country boys. or they see dancing as a “gay” and unmanly activity in which no They see dancing as a “gay” and unmanly activity in which no self-respecting man would participate. Or they say that horseback riding and poker are activities that are only appropriate for trust fund babies and the super rich. But you need to remember that an essential part of modern manliness is being able to participate in a wide variety of activities and show yourself to be well-rounded both in your skills and intellect. You need to become, as the rampaging viral internet memes suggest, “A man who can do both.” You need to be able to be a diplomate and a fighter, to speak well among the scholars of academia and the blue collar workers down at the bar. You need to be comfortable both in a suit and tie and in camouflaged jacket. You need to be someone who is able to hold himself in any situation and is unafraid of new things, no matter what stigma is attached to them. 5. Show Respect to Others  I don't care whether you are living in an incredible community of amazing men, living by a code, and the most well-rounded person in the world, if you are not extending respect and love to the people in your life, then you are not a true man. Period. End of story. No one can call himself a man if they are not respecting the people in their lives, if they are not loving others, and if they are not following the “golden rule.” Respect others and earn the respect of others. That is where true manliness lies.

Welcome to 1962: Steve Bunce continues his tour through the best decade in the history of the heavyweight championship. Floyd Patterson finally gives Charles Sonny Liston a shot at the title. The fight is expected to be the most profitable in the history of the sport, and will lead to the famous quote: "There is a big difference between having fear in you, and being a coward. [He] had fear in him, but he wasn't no coward."For show notes, pictures and more, visit https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/boxing/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The year is 1960: the boxing world is still pining for a champion like Rocky Marciano, a European holds the title for the first time but Floyd Patterson is about to dominate the ring. Sonny Liston is shamefully ignored, and a young Casius Clay is about to change it all. Join Steve Bunce as he unpacks the best decade in Heavyweight Championship history – one decade at a time.For show notes, pictures and more, visit https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/boxing/ Hosted on Acast.

The year is 1961: We pick up our tour through the best decade in the heavyweight championship in Miami, where heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson is preparing for his third fight with Sweden's Johannson. Can Ingo land a bingo? It's a fantastic year for boxing journalists who capture "the paradise of fools" and their fights, politics and theatrics. Liston continues to stalk Patterson, and Casius Clay will have eight fights this year: one on his 19th birthday.For show notes, pictures and more, visit https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/boxing/ Hosted on Acast.
