    Just imagine a prime Farr challenging Ingo before the Swede's second fight with Floyd Patterson. Wales gets it's first world heavyweight champion. Tommy by decision,clearly.

    I would tend to favour Farr here.

    I just think that what he had would have matched up verry well with Johansen stylisticaly.

    The thread isn't about him at all, but this amounts to a feather in the cap of Max Baer, who decked Farr 3 times in winning a 15 round decision in the late 30's...wasn't it '38 or '39?
