just came across that today he would have been 93 today. for those who do not know, he won the gold medal as heavy weight in 1956. after wards, he bragged that he could win the world championship in his first fight. floyd patterson obliged him. rademacher knocked patterson down in the 2nd. floyd got up and then punished him for the next 4 rounds, knocking him down 7 times when it finished in the 6th by knock out. exciting fighter, Total fights 23 Wins 15 Wins by KO 8 Losses 7 Draws 1 he passed away last year.
I was surprised that Pete was the Ref for the Witherspoon versus Tillis fight. Still a big guy beside those two 1980s dudes.
