    I was once the strongest man in the world, but in the boxing ring was no match for a fellow whose name once spread terror across Europe. I was knocked out in three. Who am I?

    Correct.

    I am surprised someone got this so quickly. Anderson was the Olympic Heavyweight weight-lifting champion in 1956. He was knocked out in 3 rounds by Atillio Tondo when he tried boxing in 1960.
