Prime Jimmy Young vs Joe Louis

[Gettin Jiggy]

Can Young's slick and awarkd style give Louis hell, and could young take a decision?

Louis by KO, and I love Jimmy. Jimmy just fought too damn lazy for Louis. He'd have to worry about Louis' power, speed, and excellent fundamentals. I think he could deal with 2 of the 3 attributes, but not all 3.

Young would have a chance stylistically but I couldn't go so far as to favour him in this matchup. Young did have a great chin and absorbed some sickeners from Foreman, I think we'd see a close distance fight for Louis......even closer than the Farr fight!!

What's a prime Jimmy Young? The Jimmy Young who lost to a young,inexperienced decent prospect in Ossie Ocasio?

What about the one that spanked Foreman?
Louis by KO round 8..

[boxingbuff]

Louis would go to the body in the early rounds,and go to the head and body by the middle rounds where he would KO Jimmy around the 8th round.

Styles make fights,and Joe Frazier would have destroyed Young Too.

A prime Ali would have chewed him up and spit him out.
