    I think that '59 Ingo would get to Earnie before Earnie got to him. It would be the swiftest with the mostest.

    This has to be a joke thread right?Well most of the threads i see here are a joke.Johansson a 180 pound fighter with no chin who best win in his career came against Floyd Patterson a natural 169 pounder with no chin.Not only that Patterson still knocked him out twice.Johansson isn't a heavyweight and i don't see any 180 pound cruiserweight with a glass jaw lasting more than one rounds with Shavers.

    Why would I be joking about a matchup between these two?
    They both punched hard as hell, and both men had suspect chins.
    This is the classic forum, here we discuss old timers and current fighters if that's the case. If you disrespect old champions as you're doing, and implying that my thread is nothing but a mere joke, then I suggest you stay out of this thread and supposedly even this part of the forum.
    Thank you for your insight, I enjoyed reading your opinion. "
    It's obvious, lets just weight them and see if Ingo can get over the magical 180 barrier.

    Ingo had some quality wins KO1 Machen and Ko over Patterson...Earnie had Norton...I think there are no guarenty's both men were also KO'd...the first one to land solid should take this

    I like Shavers here very early.
