There's ALWAYS at least one or two guys out there, that even the greats have missed. Robinson sure as hell never fought Burley. Tunney never fought Godfrey, Dempsey never fought Wills. The list goes on and on. I am even sure Langford missed out on a few.

I agree with Raylaw in this thread. Ingo is too much for a 1960 Archie Moore. Moore FINALLY started too slow down by that point. Not to say moore wouldnt be competitive and have a punchers chance, but ingo was in his prime then and his right hand would have found the mark on old man archie. However, The 1952-1955 Archie Moore who demolished big top level heavyweights like Nino Valdez, Bob Baker, and Clarence Henry.....This version of Archie very well could have beaten Johansson. I would make that matchup a 50/50.

Moore would have to be half-dead before I'd pick someone like London to beat him.
