Jimmy Young vs. Lennox Lewis

Lennox has a slight possibility of stopping Jimmy, but most likely would fight down to his level, and win a wide UD.

 

hahaha i would love to know who picked young by ko

 

i agree with your horrible comment

 

i'm gone for six weeks and it's good to know that some things never change...i know it was you who voted for young red cobra, i know it was you

 

:good

 

That or Lewis would have stopped Young late rounds.

 

Lewis by stoppage

 

I'll go with Lewis by decision based on Young's track record of staying out of harm's way against big punchers.. Of course, none of the heavy hitters that Jimmy ever faced had the combination of power + boxing ability + height that Lewis had, with the exception of Gerry Cooney who isn't on Lewis's level and still look at what happened.. I'll still give him the benefit of the doubt that he makes it to the final bell, but either way, he's getting his ass kicked.

 

No way lewis beats Young. I never thought lewis was so good anyways.

 

You're right.. No way does Lewis beat Ossie Ocasio or an aged Ken Norton... He'd get KTFO as punishment for even thinking about it.

 

Young isnt occassio or norton, he'd school lewis

 

I hate explaining why George Foreman lost to Jimmy Young over and over and over. I guess you can look at another one of my post to see the answer. Anyway if Lewis comes into the fight and takes Young seriously he wins easily, If he comes in cocky and takes Young lightly he would lost a close fight like Foreman did.

 

you dont have to explain how Goerge lost, he was obviousely inshape and got outboxed!

 

Always remember that Cooney caught Jimmy on the slide. A prime Young boxes Cooney's ears off.

 

I won't claim that Young was prime... But he certainly wasn't "washed up" either. He was maybe 30 or 31 years of age, in good shape and inbetween winning streaks. For all his shortcummings, you still needed some sort of attack to beat Gerry Cooney.. Young wasn't good for much more than being elusive and had no power besides. Could Young have beaten Cooney 1n 1977 as opposed to 1980? My answer is maybe. But I have my doubts.
