15 Rounds Heavyweight Bout
Ingo Bingo would outbox Chuvalo smartly behind his jabs and right hands on the outside without engaging him on the inside to take a decision as Chuvalo would have a puncher's chance. What do you guys think and who do you got?

I don't think Ingo ever went 15 rounds before did? So we don't really know how his stamina would hold up once he got beyond the 10th round, and Chuvalo you know is a guy who would keep applying pressure and pushing the pace so I think the back half of this bout gets pretty tough for Ingo.

Ingo's longest distance was 12 rounds in his final fight of his career against Brian London, but the two closest fights that he nearly lasted 15 rounds when he knocked out and stopped Franco Cavicchi and Joe Erskine respectively both each in 13 rounds.

Ingo would probably win a decision, but Chuvalo would have an excellent outside chance of spring the upset. George was that much more rugged than Ingo, and might wear him down en route to a late round stoppage.
I'd bet on Ingo but I would bet too much.

Little Biased, think George would win a decision.

I know that George Chuvalo could take Ingemar Johansson's punches. But, can I go take Chuvalo's? That's the question.

Terrific match. Imo, Chuvalo stops him late.
