In this June 26, 1959, file photo, Floyd Patterson lies on the canvas after taking a knockout blow from Ingemar Johansson, of Sweden, in the third round of their heavyweight title bout in New York's Yankee Stadium, in New York. Johansson, the Swede who stunned the boxing world by knocking out Floyd Patterson to win the world heavyweight title in 1959, has died, a longtime friend said Saturday. He was 76.
RIP.
“Big Inge”
