    Suppose Ingo fought Moore at the end of 1959. What type of chance would Moore have?

    Moore was showing signs of decline by then. He was nearly knocked out by durelle, and needed a last round rally to save defeat from Bert white hurst. By 59 he was no longer taking on top heavyweight contenders. His legs and reflexes had slowed down considerably. Although moores performance in durelle II was one of the best of his career, it was like he turned the clocks back.


    Johannson by KO. I would give Moore nothing more than a punchers chance.


    Any version of Moore pre 1956 has a 50-50 shot vs Johannson

    Got to go with the consensus - Johannson inside the distance. Archie was by far the greater fighter than Ingo,pound for pound,but the former was well into his forties at this point. The version of the Ol' Mongoose who fought Rocky Marciano,however,would have no doubt furnished Ingo with an extremely interesting evening.
