    I've seen TOO MUCH footage of him. But, I'm not a hater, Tommy, and the name of the website "JimmyYoungisexceptionallyoverratedforasurvival istspoilerwithfeatherfists.com" is just a coincidence. I think Young was a huge hitter, with tons of gumption and a high work rate and he's only lost fights in robberies to the best. Again, I. Love. Jimmy. Young. He's the most underrated non-titlist of all times! More so than Burley!

    :-( no. Have you seen his fight with Lyle? dokes? Bailey? all of these are good indicators of his greatness

    Young would mop the floor with Byrd or a 96' Tyson 100% with 1 hand inside the back.

    :lol: "Greatness"...is ...not a great enough word for the ATG of which you speak, Tommy. A win over Lyle? How can you not earn ATG status by beating Quarry's leftovers? To think, we're talking about a man skilled enough to almost outpoint a sickly old Ali and flash knockdown a dessicated Foreman! Gooooooooooo Young!

    he wasn't a quarry left over Lyle went on to fight Ali and foreman with huge success before then he had fought young and got SCHOOLED.
    He did outpoint foreman and Ali. and he beat dokes, ocasio, and shavers. He got robbed a lot. learn the facts you troll.
    The facts are he has a very good resume and was too slippery for most fighters. it takes an atg to beat an experienced prime young.

    Lyle went on to what Ali? That's right, LOSE TO. What's that good for? That and ten dollars will buy you a cup of coffee at the airport. Nothing changes Foreman's near-death dehydration though, T-man. He didn't get robbed, he cheated himself out of decisions with his weak-willed negative style. Let's face it, Young troll with Young avatar, Young was just a talented name fighter without the will of a champion. :bart

    More Horse****. Lyle was owning Ali until Ali finally caught him with some good punches. He definitely got robbed. Some judges didnt like his style I guess. I'm not a troll. Not even close. I speak FACTS. I speak the TRUTH. Young should be champion and he had the heart and will to be champ as well. It was the JUDGES that denied him his call to greatness. FACTS. :deal

    Who the hell hacked into my account to type that? What I wanted to say was:

    Hey, you know what takes a lot of heart? Not punching. Just not bothering to punch takes a lot of courage, I feel...

    Can't think of a single fighter of the 90's who wouldn't have been embarassed or made to look like an outright amateur by Young.

    I agree. A prime Holyfield may have beaten Jimmy,but he would n't have looked good in doing so.

    So basically Young would beat Holyfield, Lewis, Bowe & Tyson, plus all the top contenders, then retire undefeated as the GOAT? :lol:
     
  15. well, i agree with him, young would beat tyson post prison, he would beat holyfield 96-97 by decision, he would give a war to a prime evander,lewis and bowe. he would beat morrison,mercer,moorer,spoon,tua,bruno...
