    My right hand was unique in boxing history, so much so that my countrymen still walk in my footsteps so many years after I retired.
    I retired undefeated and revered to this day. Who am I ?.

    Dan Donnelly, although it's debatable whether he was undefeated.

    Yes S Dan Donnelly, was Ireland's first heavyweight champion in 1815
    when he ko'd George Cooper of England. He had a short career,and retired early on as a hero in Ireland. He died in 1820, and soon after a surgeon
    removed his right hand, where it was put in a tank of alcohol and given a coat of varnish. His footsteps leading to the ring at Donnelly's Hollow in
    County Kildare can still be seen to this day and his right hand was on
    display in America a few years ago...ESB fans can click youtube "Dan Donnelly {boxer} to see his right hand 226 years old ,and his footsteps
    from 1815 fight leading to the ring...Amazing to see...

    Im not too familiar with Ingo to be honest, asides from the Patterson fights and his leg twitiching when he got KTFO.
