A Time Machine Thread. Jimmy Young vs Floyd Patterson Nov 30 1956, for the vacant title.

If I could find Jimmy’s time machine, I’d go back there right now and write it.

But only after the sports almanac I order on eBay arrives.

 

I’d love to see Crispen Glover as a creepy Teddy Atlas.

 

Moore put in a lot of work in cleaning out the heavyweight division to get his shot at both Marciano and later Patterson. Seem unfair to not have Moore get his chance because Young had a time machine.

 

That young and fast version of Patterson would have done superbly at cruiserweight

 

Very, very good.

But meanwhile…..what became of Older but still Young Young being Young Young from the Future who’d be 14 years senior at the least to Younger Young?

Young Young would be a that much Older Young Young by the 70s who we might now just call Old Young. Sounds like I’m speaking Chinese/Mandarin.…but anyway.

And there’s the loose end re Rocky to tie up. No, that wasn’t your original problem but since I introduced it, you were obligated to deal with it.

I’ll try help.

Having pinched Older Young Young’s time machine, Rocky’s sudden disappearance is BIG news. As if he just vanished off the face of the earth - which effectively he has.

The wildest conspiracy theories abound. Eventually, a public indoctrinated into B-grade sci fi settle down, come to their senses and apply Occam’s Razor.

OF COURSE, they collectively exclaim, Rocky, as an elite example of a gladiatorial earthling, has been taken by a Aliens for a thorough probing to see what type of threat we pose.

Duh, why didn’t we think of that in the first place?

Meanwhile, again, in “reality”, our Rocky is still hurtling ever forward, at ageless, Forever Young, light speed, along the 4th dimension.

There’s a password required to pull the time machine up - but Rocky can’t figure it out. It was simple really. If only he mentally profiled the password’s creator to get a clue.

Of course Older Young Young’s password was: “I Wuz Robbed”.

Maybe the penny will drop for Rocky sometime into the future - albeit very much into the future at the speed our Rocky is going….to infinity and beyond!!!!!

 

Archie in a bikini? Good god no. Especially given his scar from surgery for a perforated ulcer.

Maybe a Carmen Miranda fruity head piece added to the ensemble could help to distract people. Carmen also liked to go commando.

NO? Likely makes the mental image of Arch all the more worse I hear you say? Yes, I wholeheartedly agree.

 

I can’t answer all your riddles, but Jimmy Young (the elder) actually went back to New York, picked up his DeLorean and drove it past all those 1950s sedans to Philly, but it was beginning to draw attention so he put it in a storage unit and paid the rent on that unit ahead some 32 years. But after that, the contents go up for auction ‘Storage Wars’ style. (I lost track of Jimmy the elder at this point, so don’t know what happened to him.)

A young boxer disillusioned in losing his 1988 debut, puts his entire four-round purse up in the blind bidding (they didn’t let them peer into the units under Philly auction rules at this time) and wins the contents. He’s overjoyed to find he nabbed a spiffy sports car that had only hit the market a few years earlier.

This boxer, Bernard Hopkins, takes the DeLorean out for a test drive and when it hits 88 mph … it transports him forward to 2016. He wanders into a bar where a TV is tuned in to see a guy named Joe Smith Jr. knock a guy out of the ring and realizes … it’s himself, still boxing at age 43.

He then checks himself into a mental hospital, realizing he’s either gone crazy to think he just saw himself still fighting at that advanced age or, if he actually is still fighting at that age, he really must be crazy.

 

Ah, while that is all well and good SaintPat, ANSWER ME THIS…….nah, rest easy, that’s alI I got on this one, I’m juiced out………I actually have a model DeLorean on my desk at home…I’m waiting for it to suddenly dematerialise, then I’ll know…..
