Thread: This is all Ingemaar could have done agaınst Marciano: RUN/DQ

That was shameful by Ingemaar but he was an amateur and more than made up for it as a professional. He had a good jab and a thunderous right hand which would have stopped Rocky if they fought after he had beaten Patterson. You know it too.

I think you need to see Ingemar Johansson vs Brian London, it was basically Lucian Bute vs Librado Andrade 1 with Johanssoon surviving by the skin of his teeth. And Brian London was nothing more than a British level slugger.

Johannson knocked out Henry Cooper cold.

INgemaar was really good---but he would crumple from the Marcıano body/hıp/arm attack.

Did Rocky really train for a month? I read he started using the punch bag and said his back hurt and that he did not have it any longer and decided against the comeback.

here ıs an ınterstıng artıcle from the Fıtschburg Sentınel Newspaper of Massachusettes the day Rocky retıred:

Rocky Marciano Retirement

Good read, it does seem Patterson (probably more so Cus De Mato) was waiting for Rocky to retire before he went on to win the title.
