Floyd Patterson wins a razor-thin decision over George Chuvalo at Madison Square Garden in what was voted 1965's Fight of the Year. Chuvalo campaigned hard for a rematch, but Floyd wanted no part of it.

6-5-1 Chuvalo
One of my favorite fights..
George deserved a better shake but being in Patterson s back yard....

That was a great fight to watch. I had Patterson winning. There were a few rounds that hard to score because there so much action form both of the guys.
