    Had to second guess whether Ali was still my number 1 after reading this! :lol:

    Yes!! And the mag. cover refers to Birgit as his “friend”. LOL, we should all have such friends and the “benefits” in tow. And wasn’t Ingo the only non American to win the Hicock Belt (in its 27 year existence) for top athlete 1959? It’s like peeling the layers of an onion and it just keeps getting better and better for Super Swede Johansson.

    Btw, anyone heard the rumours of Ingoes liaisons with several female celebs of the day? For one, gorgeous Stella Stevens was mentioned. Also, as claimed, Ingo was Bingo-ing Cleopatra (Elizabeth Taylor) for a time. Don’t shoot the messenger but if true, there maybe another category for which Ingo may be in line for GOAT status.
