Gome to think of it, that might not be a bad idea. Johansson could have an outside chance of beating D'Amato, which is about all I canjsay for thej Swedish Swatter after surveying him at his picnic headquarters in the Catskills. EuQualified observers who watched him perform in ' rope say Johansson is just a shade better than Brian victim Crusader .
