    This is one of the very few cases, where the hypothetical event probably happened.

    Foreman arguably holds the two greatest wins in heavyweight history, before and after Young beat him.

    Can we ask a lot more of poor Young?

    I am also a huge fan of Muhammad Ali, but like you I did think Jimmy Young edged him on April 30 1976. Even Howard Cosell was alluding to that, he kept interrupting the usual television programming that was in progress that night after the title bout.
