Ingo stopped the best fighters in the world. It doesn't matter how good your chin is when you can't defend it against the best fighters in the world. Butterbean could have Chuvalo chin, but with his skills and stamina Ingo would hit him at will and he wouldn't be able to sustain that for 15 or even 12 rounds. Honestly, it's shocking to me that I have to explain such a basic things here...
Johansson stopped Patterson,Cooper, and Machen,he needed a ton of kds to stop Floyd including on the the side of the neck and a rabbit punch,he hit Machen with everything but the referee,before stopping him and refused to fight him again and he ko'd Cooper not the hardest thing in the world to do at any time. He couldnt stop London or ordinary fighters like McBride ,Bacileri or Friedrich,You're building him up like he was some kind of monster . Ingo didn't fight the rest of the best. Baker Satterfield Carter Folley Liston Miteff Daniels DeJohn McMurtry Cleroux Bethea Moore Ali Williams Pastrano Were all ranked when he was. As to your last statement, you're obviously far above the rest of us with your boxing knowledge and experience.
The Patterson and Machen fights would have been stopped ages before they were if they had a modern ref.
Yes,or a competent one, but the fact that Floyd kept getting up and was knocked down whilst facing the other way ,the fact that Ingo hit Machen with a shed load of big shots before he went down for good , tells me Ingo's power was overated. His jab was just a range finder for the right . So IF,and it's a big IF, Bean could absorb those right hands maybe he could get into the fight?
No, I'm saying he'd stop circus act that Butterbean was. Bean wasn't a real boxer, are you aware of that? Do you believe that you have to be some kind of monster to stop Butterbean? Is that your serious take here? Butterbean never fought anyone close to any of these fighters, unless you want to count Holmes who was over 50 and schooled Butterbean. I really fail to see your logic here, you really try to say that Ingo had thin resume in a thread where he's compared to Butterbean... I'm not, far from it. Anyone should be aware that Butterbean wasn't a real boxer, that's why I'm honestly shocked by some of these posts here...
This is what you said. "Ingo stopped the best fighters in the world ," Another sweeping statement, he stopped 2 of them. You're given to"exaggeration " aren't you.
Yes, I said it and it's true. He stopped two best fighters in the world. In this case, there is no exaggaration at all from my part. Again, you think it's important to note that he stopped "only" two of them in comparison to Butterbean... Ingo's Euro competition was galaxies ahead of anything Butterbean ever faced.
What logic do you use to draw such conclusion? How do you define "all best"? Are two best enough? Ingo stopped two best fighters in the world at the time he fought against them. If not, then how many is enough? Don't worry about that, I wouldn't respond to your post if I didn't have a will to do so.
