    Moorer struggled against big punchers, but how would he do against a light-hitting trickster in Young?

    Jesus: lots of Jimmy young fantasy matchups.
    I think young would outbox moorer, he certainly isn't getting knocked out, too crafty, too durable.

    It depends on how motivated Moorer was. Mike was more talented, but he didn't always bring his A-game. Even so, I go with Moorer by decision. It would be a very close decision.

    I again like Young as long as it the Jimmy Young of the 70's.

    Young would have befuddled the slower southpaw. It would have been Young by a decision..what else?

    I believe Young would outbox Moorer, he can certainly take his power, and his trickiness would probably pay off.
