	* "I'm going to the United States in the spring, but I'm not going to fight - only to study boxing in American rings. I hope to fight a top-ranking American like Willie Pastrano in Stockholm next July. The outcome of that match would decide whether I'd challenge Patterson or not." -Ingemar Johansson		* "I'm going to the United States in the spring, but I'm not going to fight - only to study boxing in American rings.
