    Would Young be able to outbox him?

    Sure! I don't give Qawi a good chance of winning. Prime Young was too good.

    I do like classic Qawi, though. And was actually pretty impressed by his performance against Foreman. He did far better than he had a right to.

    Young UD. A strong boxer would be the one to uphend Young. And Qawi wasn't that.

    I think Young did fine with boxers, a non stop puncher like the Spinks who beat ali, or a guy who punches alot and swarms like frazier or braxton I think are jimmy's toughest fights. But a prime Young would beat Braxton and maybe even Frazier

    I think so. Young was quick, durable and elusive. I don’t think he had the power to hurt qawi but I think he could certainly win a wide decision

    I think Young would have his hands full with the Qawi of the first Holyfield fight.

    Young would probably decision Qawi. Very good, clever boxer who I think Qawi would have a lot of problems cracking. Qawi would have a lot of problems getting to Young and putting in good enough work to win the fight. Neither of them would be hurt throughout.
