    A bit out of left field, but who wins if Big George decides after beating Zouski, that he needs to avenge one of his defeats with a July 1987 match up with Jimmy Young?

    Young was still active and although far from his peak, knew how to survive in the ring. Could he still out cute the come-backing rusty Foreman? Or would George get his revenge?

    That would have been a great rematch to make, and I was hoping Foreman would go undefeated and get the totle from Holyfeald, then anounce a Young rematch. Would have been likely scenario, he'd have thought it a safe fight. But I saw Young being interveiwed at one of Foreman's fight, was asked if he'd like to fight Goerge again, he said no, only if he really had to. But I guessw if Goerge was holding the title, he'd of wanted to. I think it might have been a good fight, Goerge was much slower, couldof gone either way. I think Young would of squeaked out another one and won the title again, I mean, acyually recieved the belt at last.LOL

    C'mon, Foreman was a slob early on, but was in hard training in '87...... It shows.... Foreman in March against 'Zouski' was a slobbish 267 pounds, but by Dec. against 'Sekorski' on ESPN, Foreman was a real good 244 pounds at age 38........ Foreman KILLS Young in 1987.......... The hell?

    So what if Foreman cameback and fought Young instead of Zouski?

    Young by decision.
