Leon Spinks vs Jimmy Young

Jimmy Young wins a decision in this one. Young was a great defensive fighter and Leon has the come-forward style that suits Jimmy perfectly.

He would make him miss and pay all night long.

 

You must have mixed that fight up with another one.

 

Young would give Neon Leon a boxing lesson.

 

Young by UD. spinks is overrated.

 

As a sidelight, wonder why people forget that Spinks kicked Ali's behind
in the first fight. Spinks only had 7 (?) pro fights.

There is a saying here in Texas that if you go to a "High Noon" showdown,
then you better bring your pistols.

Too many times the Ali of mid-seventies just showed up....knowing he would get the judges vote no matter what.

That is just my humble opinion.

 

Young UD

 

I believe they were actually sched. to fight, I forget the reasonwhy the fight didn't happen. Early eighties I think. If Jimmy trained to win, he wins. Any fight Jimmy trained to win, he wins, if only the judges appreciates his artistry, a true master boxer at work.

 

Jimmy wins a strong UD, Spinks only wins a couple of rounds at best.

 

But, Leon is the kind of guy who just might get a dec. off a guy like Jimmy, Jimmy couldn't be inactive with a guy who never stops punching. He'd have to make Leon miss and counter all night. Cause Leon threw a l;ot of leather in the first clay fight. But Young would beat him if he took the fight seriouse. I think Leon would learn a lot too

 

What's this, then? A realistic H2H thread involving Jimmy Young? :huh

 

Oh Ears, Young isn't in your "esb #insert name#" club along with liston is he?

the guy beat shavers, ali and foreman, that's enough to debate him against top level opponents.

 

The overrated acorn, zombie Ali and the Foreman who nearly died of dehydration immediately after the fight having hallucinations in his dressing room? atsch Yeah, Young's on my list of greats who weren't.

But, no, Liston is well above Young's company, for me. He threw punches, and could stop a moth with them, even.

, are we?

 

Young would counter him at times but would eventually lose. Leon Spinks would be too active for him and get the decision.
