    RIP champ. Three memorable fights with Patterson.The first he had Floyd up and down like a yo yo Floyd hit the deck seven times.In the return Patterson looked like he's done Ingo serious damage when he knocked him cold with the famous leaping left hook,it left Johansson's right foot twitching involuntarily.The third fight was a thriller with Floyd down twice early on but he came back to stop Ingo in the 6th.He wasn't one of the greatest champions but with that booming right hand he certainly made his mark.

    Rest in Peace. Great fighter who will certainly be missed. Had a great trilogy with Patterson and made his mark on history.

    Just new information guys, they're planning to build a statue of Ingemar Johansson in his home town of Gothenburg!

    Great news, this is how big he is in Sweden, a true hero.
