    Could Jimmy outhustle him?, or would Lennox just be too much?

    Two of my favorite heavyweights, "sigh"...oh well, Lewis by a close, ugly decision.

    That's how I see it.

    Although Lewis could be outboxed, Mercer came close.

    Its just possible that Young could spoil his way to a decision.

    Easy win for Young. Big guys were made for him. Lennex not great speed, not too busy, gets confused, befuddled, goes home in tears.

    I dunno man, Lennox had a great ring IQ, and a fantastic reach which could give Young lots of trouble. Plus KO power in either hand.

    Close one either way I think.

    If Lennox is focused and in shape then I think he finishes Young late. If not and he takes Jimmy lightly then Young makes him look bad en route to a decision victory.

    Lewis easily. Too big, too much reach, too much power, and had the longest, hardest jab that Young would ever have to negotiate his way around.

    What fights does one watch to see Young display his ability to beat Lewis? I sure haven't seen em.

    It has the potential to rival Klitschko/Ibragimov.

    If you judge upon the average Lewis effort versus average Young effort, Lewis destroys him. C'mon, Young had a few inspired performances against Big Name opponents in fragile states, but he was terribly uneven. And at the age Lewis was hitting his stride, Young was pathetic. You can't just take Young's best couple performances and compare them to Lewis' weakest.

    Haha, I guess I do have an odd taste when it comes to fantasy matchups...

    But I agree with the majority, Lewis takes it.
