Hi David--- I just needed to correct something in regards to Floyd Patterson. While I was speaking about him I began thinking about his terrific trilogy with Ingemar Johannson, and I said that he became the youngest " lineal" champion in history by beating Johannson BUT he beat Johannson to REGAIN his title-- however, he became the youngest "lineal" Heavyweight Champion in history at 21 when he beat the ATG Archie Moore.

Hi Johnny - that is a good clarification, thanks very much. It will be interesting to see if anyone picks up on that!
