    Jimmy being the faster out of the two,would take a UD,after a snoozefest.

    I'd love to know how that fight played out. I think Tubbs was a real good boxer, very slick also, but I think a prime Young would handle him. UD

    Young wins prime to prime, Jimmy has more ring savy the Tony Jimmy in UD

    Pretty much even but I'll go with Young as he pulled off the big W more often.

    Both guys could box, that's for sure.

    I never saw the '83 fight, but, I gotta assume a young Tubbs schooled a washed-up Young over 10 rds while pitching a near shutout over 10 so-so rds of tactical jabbing and posing..... YAWN! I seriously doubt that Young was a threat to Tubbs in 1983..... Cheerio....

    Yeah, forgot about the '83 match.

    I really meant prime for prime anyway, my bad guys.
