He is a world champion in two weight classes, having held the World Boxing Council (WBC) super bantamweight title in 1992 to 1994, and the International Boxing Federation (IBF) junior lightweight title in 1995.

Born Tracy Harris in Grady, Alabama, he is the adopted son of former Golden Gloves and world heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, turned Golden Gloves success into a solid pro career.

As an amateur, Patterson won two New York Golden Gloves Championships. Patterson won both the 1984 119 lbs. Open Championship and the 1985 125 lbs. Open Championship. Patterson trained at the Huguenot Boys Club in New Paltz, New York by his adoptive father, former heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, a two-time Golden Gloves winner.

In 1995 he captured the IBF super featherweight title by TKO'ing Eddie Hopson, but lost the belt later in the year when defending against Arturo Gatti. In 1997 he rematched Gatti, but again lost a decision. He retired in 2001 after a draw with a career record of 63–8–2.
