Jimmy Young vs David Haye

[Boxed Ears]

A focused and motivated Jimmy Young is like a focused and motivated Zab Judah. By the way, here's something I painted once:

Young by stoppage. Far more comfortable in his style than Haye is. And tougher. His lack of dig means nothing against Haye, who was on queer street against Lolenga Mock.

The fight is approved under one condition: Loser gets shot. (and so does the winner)

This would be a great cure for insomnia...ZZZZZZZ...

Young wins a close decision in one of the worst matches in heavyweight boxing history.

[MagnaNasakki]

Haye would pick up some rounds based purely on speed and athleticism coupled with Young not punching.

But when Jimmy is countering and seeing the openings, I can't see Haye knowing what to do at all.

Young, competitive but clear decision.

More like the voice of crazed Ali nuthuggery.

Any of the light, sneaky shots that Young tagged Ali, Norton and Foreman with would have really shook up Haye. Haye wouldn't have a clue.

Young, after some early flash from Haye, would end up dominating the bout.

Decision - Young either pulls away for a wide decision or stops a dispirited Haye late.

Folks, bundle up. It's gonna be a long winter. It's Jimmy Young season in the Classic Forum.

The correct answer: Haye gets negated by the negative master. Jimmy Young gets screwed on the cards. Haye UD.

[NoNeck]

Haye would win. He's not gonna give a shit about Young's punching power.

If it's competitive, that means Young gets hit. With Haye's power shots. How is he going to deal with that? I think Haye would let his hands go against Young and the hand speed and power would be too much for Young.

Young had a good chin considering the quality of the fighters he fought. Conditioning and taking fights on a few days notice due to some of the worst matchmaking in recent boxing history was his problem.

He took Earnie Shavers the distance in one of their bouts, took Cooney's power before being stopped on cuts, sparred hundreds of rounds with Frazier, bounced Tyson around in sparring also, wasn't hurt in beating Lyle, Goerge Foreman etc...

A blinded by blood, old and shot Jimmy Young wasn't even phased by a young, prime Cooney. He dealt with Ron Lyle, survived Foreman,...Haye's power would be inconsequential and he would be embarrassed by Young.
