One-Hit Wonders in Boxing History

[Mars_ax]

Liston is a good example. How about INgemaar Johanssen.

Ingemar Johansson, was pretty much a one hit wonder in the sense that like Liston, he beat 1 man for the HW crown, then never owned a title again. The Swede did have some serious power in that right hand (he called Thor) and he did own a 5th round KO over Henry Cooper in 1957, and a 1st round KO over Eddie Machen in 1958. This was before he fought Patterson the 1st time in 1959, and long before Ali fought both these guys.
