    What if the Johansson of 1959 fought the Mike Tyson who lost to Buster Douglas. Ingo beat one Cus D'amato disciple, could he beat another?

    Tyson would be able to impose himself on Johansson unlike Douglas.

    Tyson knocks him out. Ingo wasn’t a rangy fighter like Douglas was. And his chin was possibly as bad or worse

    Ingo hadn't the chin, movement or jab of Douglas.
    Tyson KO 2-3 rounds

    He had a big right hand. Ask Patterson and Machen.

    Ingo's bingo was no laughing matter. Ask Machen and Patterson, they didn’t find it funny.
