    That's the real correct answer.

    If I absolutely had to pick a winner with a gun to my head, screw it- I'm going with Ingo. I never see the guy get favored over anybody on here, so I'll at least give him this one.

    I would rather watch it than Ernie Terrell vs Joe Bugner.

    That's not giving it much though is it?

    Disagree with those who said they wouldn't pay to watch this. Ingo's jab would keep Jimmy on his toes.
    Avoid the Bingo Jimmy which he probably would have. Young UD IMO with no embarrassment to Ingo.
    Jimmy's biggest asset IMO was making big bangers miss all night plus, as I've said, he didn't hit hard but he hit hard enough to keep the big bangers off of him. The frustrated Swede would have absorbed a UD loss.

    Greetings Nightrain! As I've said many times before, A Terrell-Bugner s c r a p could have been one of the biggest 'snooze fests' in boxing history. Give me free beer, dogs, and a ringside seat? I'd rather go shopping with my wife!!!

    Anyone else remember the dark summer of Jimmy Young obsession like 5 years ago? That was ****ing grim.

    Young would have owned Ingo.

    Great post. I think Young schools him and I would have loved to have watched the fight.
