    Sitting here watching Patterson vs Johansson 2 and I started thinking....what if you switched a prime Riddick Bowe for Floyd Patterson?

    Are there any solid arguments for a Johansson win or would this be the one sided, uncompetitive massacre that i'm imagining?

    Your thoughts???

    Ingo was a 180 or so odd pound guy. Bowe was a 6'5 230 pound guy. There is no guy Ingo size who could beat Bowe or any other modern sized heavyweight.

    Bowe in one round.

    A big obvious right hand and a 45 lb weight disadvantage isn't going to cut it against Bowe.

    This would be like the Bowe v Sheldon ft in my opinion. Ingo gets blasted to the canvas and never recover s. He jumps up from the first kd but Bowe overpower s him for another count. He'll get up again but within seconds he's down again. Game over.

    Not that it may matter, but Johansson was 194 3/4 pounds on that night according to Boxrec

    Looks like you nailed it, TBI. Too small and one dimensional.

    Certainly very much so. Ingo just to much in over his head here imo. He could punch, he proved that but I don't see in him getting the chance here.

    Let's take a walk down memory lane

    Although I think that Johansson unlike Ferguson would land on his back rather than his stomach.

    I notice you've been spelling Bruce's last name "Sheldon". Why so, Fergy?

    Ingo quit in the Olympics, in a fight against a big U.S. heavyweight Ed Sanders.
    Sanders 6'4", 216 lbs as a pro.

    Maybe Johansson could pull an upset?
