    Agree. As much as I instinctively went towards Tua because of young’s Chin I remembered how bad Tua was at chasing down guys. Young easy decision

    Young's Chin? Young went the distance with a young Foreman (Something Chuvalo couldn't do against an inferior version of Foreman) and Shavers, the 2 concensus hardest punchers not only in the era, but in history. He was never down for the count and had 2 KO losses. The first; his 11th fight, when he was fed to the hardest puncher in the history of the division, and the latter at the end of his career against another huge puncher on a freak cut in a fight where he wasn't remotely hurt.

    Yes, he was blind against one of the hardest punchers ever who was in his prime, and Jimmy was an older version of himself. Not even phased.

    Something to remember, Chris Byrd outboxed and outslicked Tua...and..whatever Byrd could do, Young could do it even better. This would be a Lyleish type ownage.

    I’m going with Young but interestingly enough, I don’t know if he’s ever faced a fighter of Tua’s style or description. Might be a harder proposition than people think.
