Ingemar Johansson’s right hand—dubbed “The Hammer of Thor”—was the most fearsome in boxing, and Johansson’s three fights with Floyd Patterson rank among the sport’s classic rivalries. Yet most fans know little about the Swedish playboy who won the world heavyweight championship with a shocking third round knockout of Patterson and held it for six days short of a year (1959–1960). During his reign, the raffish “Ingo” hit fashionable nightspots on two continents, romanced Elizabeth Taylor, and refused to kowtow to the mobsters who controlled boxing. This first-ever biography of Johansson chronicles his fistic triumphs as a Göteborg teen prodigy, his humiliating disqualification for “cowardice” at the 1952 Olympics, his storybook romances with Birgit Lundgren and Edna Alsterlund and his post-career life and tragic early dementia.

I wanted to respectfully condense and summarize the lives of the Bare Knuckle and Gloved World Heavy Weight Boxing Champions, so a person could meet these men, take a mini-view of their lives, and learn the highlights of their career.These Boxing pioneers paved the way for athletes to safely box competitively while the average person could box as a physical fitness routine which is exciting, motivating, and get the benefit of self-defense. My gym has had many competitors and Champions, but also have countless students that don't compete and only want the many benefits that only Boxing offers.It would only be proper to give respect to other weight classes and mention the early "Bare Knuckle" Fighters. This includes "rough and tumble" men such as Tom Sharkey, Jem Mace, Paddy Ryan, Charles Mitchell, Jake Kiltrain and the first American "Bare Knuckle" Champion, Tom Hyer in 1849. These amazing men fought in an almost "Anything Goes" brawls that sometimes lasted more than 100 rounds. They fought without gloves, sometimes in the blistering sun, on dirt floors of barns, race tracks, and riverboats.Many cities or states did not permit these "fist fights" to take place. If the authorities caught the contestants fighting, they could be arrested. Even if the bouts were authorized, the police could stop a bout when they decided it was in the best interest of all concerned.

This is the story of the lineage of Boxing's World Heavyweight Championship from 1882-1915 and how it explains a cultural attitude toward race and identity in that era. The first true national and international sports celebrities were boxers in the late 1800s. Soon after the abolishment of slavery in the United States the first World Champions of the sport were crowned. As the Champion of the World these boxing heavyweights were held on a pedestal of athletic dominance, and in the eyes of some white Americans, and many of those in the boxing community, these champions had to be white, anything else would challenge the belief of white Anglo-saxon superiority that many white Americans were clinging to at the time. It is the story of the symbol of the World Champion during that period and what it meant in society. It's also a story about a bunch of tough, bad-ass guys from over a hundred years ago that used to beat each other up.
