(/P) Heavyweight Champion Floyd Patterson, bruised in flesh and pride, planned yesterday to make his next title defense for the re organized Feature Sports Inc. in ,New York in late summer. Britain's P'•?nry Cooper, Eddie Machen and Sonny Listen were mentioned as possible opponents by the promoter. The 26-year-old boxer from Rockville Centre, N.Y., empha sized that he will call the shots in all future dealings. He said he expected to fight at least twice a year. "As far as Cus D'Amato and I are concerned," said Patterson, "he still is my manager. He still will get one-third. We are still as ,close as ever. But I am making the decisions on which direction I will go. Cus will negotiate some things and he'll come to me to see if it is all right." Patterson bounced back from the two first round knockdowns Monday night, floored Ingemar Johansson in a wild first round and knocked out the Swede in 2:45 of the sixth round of their third and possibly last meeting. The bout drew 15,000 people, paying $500.000, at Convention Hall. An estimated 487,500 paid $2,437,000 in theater TV and $BOO,- 000 came from other supplemen tal-, rights. WEDNESDAY.
