    Yeah, but I'm not really degrading Holmes chin, just that it wasn't as solid as Ali's or Young's.....and he didn't practice defense like those two either....especially Young.

    Holme's chin was WORLDS better than Young's.

    Double :lol::lol:
    The Shavers shot that put Holmes down would not have put Young down??? Somebody needs to lay off the Kool-Aid.
    And I loved Jimmy!

    Clearly Foreman knocks Young out.

    For proof watch Ike vs Byrd.

    You copied that from Coxs corner right? Im not hating very cool article, theres several. I tend to agree, I mean just look at Foreman in the Ali fight he was big as ****. Foreman commented on Young's deft footwork in "best Ive faced " if memory serves correctly. I think Young feinting and spoiling all night could hang in there he had a hell of a chin. Foreman TKO most likely, he cut off the ring that good.

    Yeah I did, http://coxscorner.tripod.com/Foreman2.html But Young would've been killed by that shot that flored Larry Holmes.
