    Ingo gets killed. Leon is much wilder, faster, and tougher, with WAY better stamina and movement. Leon doesn't rely on one trick like Johansson does to win a fight. My one fear for Leon is that he gets TOO wild in the early going and gets caught by the right hand. Leon was not the toughest guy in the world, so he might get stopped. Leon, though not as powerful as Johansson probably, could hit pretty hard too. As I see it, Leon is a big favorite.

    Ingo by KO 4. Ingo's Bingo is just as hard or harder than Goetzee's right hand.

    I agree, prime Foreman is a monster and Sharkey didn't have durability to stay with him in ring for 12 or 15 rounds.

    We're talking about Moorer verison of Foreman, which was quite different.

    Besides, who did Foreman stop at this age to believe you that Sharkey would be knocked out in 3 rounds?

    Have you even watched some prime Sharkey fights? Or are you just looking at his boxrec site?

    Only beating holyfield is better than anything that sharkey could dream. I don't care about your next excuses to dismiss his win

    So when I mention Schmeling win against Louis you keep saying that it doesn't matter, but here you use Holyfield win as the reason? Double standards again.

    Again, tell mehow many and which fights of Sharkey have you seen.

    You countered it many times with "Foreman beat Norton and Frazier, so he shoulr have beaten Ali".
    Still waiting for list of Sharkey fights you've seen.
