    Probably 1976, I agree.

    Jimmy Young had a 21-year career, but he was really only good in 1975, 1976 and 1977. Before and after that, he sort of floundered.

    And Joe Frazier didn't fight in 1977.

    So that leaves 75 and 76.

    In 1975, Young was still a sparring partner for Frazier. They'd worked together for hundreds of rounds. I don't think Jimmy could do anything Frazier hadn't already seen.

    So that leaves 1976. That's probably the year.
