    Just because Tyson holds all the mental and physical advantages doesn't mean he has this one in the bag. In the realm away from the mental and the physical is where Young can still take this.

    Young was a really good fighter. He beat Foreman and I had him winning against Ali. He also beat Lyle twice and ran Norton extremely close. Having said that Tyson is all wrong for him. Tyson would be on top of Young and early post prison Tyson still has endurance to have good enough work rate to out point Jimmy rather handily.

    Happens all the time.
    It is kinda Flavor of the Month in Classic Forum:
    For some unexplained reason a decent HW contender suddenly is all over the forum, being elevated to almost demi-god status.

    A few months ago happened with Lyle, before that with Tua, and before it was Bowe.
    Now it is Young's turns it seems.

    No worries. Just stay put and let the crazyness fade away...
