    Prime Uncle Jimmy Young steps into a time machie, he’s as disciplined as Marvellous this time because it’s my thread… his manager has him fighting 3-4 times a year similar to his prime, he is dropped into the shark tank in 2020s HW scene… how’s the best contender of the 70s do? Champ? Belt Holder? Contender? Pushed outside the top 10? What’s his peak?

    Belt Holder. With the number of belts available (and three weight classes to choose from), I would say he could almost certainly grab one, one way or another.

    A world champion with a defense or two to his credit.

    With this disastrous post Usyk cruiser era, i don't see anyone giving him problems other than Jai Opetaia and Zurdo for a few rounds. I think he beats them both.

    I’m thinking Ruiz might be fair game for Young? Joshua… at the time, if he got Joshua and Wilder back to back do you think he’d be undisputed? He has the world’s best manger.

    I think he could beat Dubois. A guy like Usik or Fury, if well prepared, will beat him with their aggression alone, unless the fight takes place in scorching Las Vegas or in warm Puerto Rico in front of 15 thousand, then he has a chance of pulling a Foreman.

    Usik, however, is not actually a first round ko type of guy like Foreman was at that time so Usik has the cardio....

    As far as the rest, Im sadly not that well educated on today's boxers to know too many of them...and Ive only seen Joseph Parker fight once. I miss HBO and Showtime!

    Time consuming! HOWEVER! Get Jimmy's age reversed, convince him to let me handle his career for him, and then we will discuss my salary, cut, and perks! :p:cool::D

    @themaster458 he just exists? Downplaying our uncle like that can’t go unpunished… in 2020? It was just AJ and Wilder holding the fragmented belt? Ain’t beat either? - in 2021 Fury came back, recent times we had DDD and before that Andy Ruiz Jnr no gapes where he can slip between the cracks? Not even one belt?

    I would tread carefully. This guy's name is THE MASTER! The MASTER has spoken! He gets a pass in my book! "Yes, Master Sir!" :p

    I won’t let jabs at Uncle Jim stick, as a niece it’s in your best interest to parry that S or commit seppuku.
