    I like Ingo but he gets stopped by all four of those fighters.

    Peak Ingemar Johansson Vs 1959 Sonny Liston.
    I'd love to see that beating.

    I don't dislike the fella but he's not my fantasy fight favorite.

    Ingo has a shot at beating Michael Spinks. But I’d make him a clear underdog in those other fights

    The Machen fight tells us a lot.

    Ingo had the kind of power/delivery, where a superior chin, didn't promise you anything!

    He was very beatable, but also very dangerous!

    Why’s that? Don’t you like Sonny for some reason? INGEMAR - yes, breathe it in.

    Why would you wish that on poor Sonny?

    Imagine if Ingo was forced to make a mandatory defense against Sonny Liston in 1959 immediately following his title winning knockout win over Floyd Patterson also in 1959.

    Peak Ingo would then sing a rendition of We Are The World. Lol.

    I think the best one of the lot he’d have a shot to smite is AJ. Holmes and Ali are just too sturdy. I don’t think he does cut Joshua down but it’s “possible”

    Nah, Liston probably gives a good account of himself before Ingo takes him out.
