    The man beat Foreman, though arguably a dissipated version of the man from 73-74. How would Young do against a prime Dempsey?

    Probably mostly stifles Dempsey's attacks but gets outworked and loses on points.

    Swarmers like Dempsey, Frazier, Tyson, would be bad news for Young they would be all over Young like a rash and Young hasn't got the power or the mobility to keep them off.

    I think Young does well against slower power punchers or boxer types he can frustrate but not fast starting swarmers they are the worst style match up for Young.
