Intruiging match up,
I don't think too much of Young,I didn't like his attitude to the game.
How many wins over Ring ranked fighters does he have? I'm going for Zora.
ps Folley v Mildenberger was a draw,though I suppose a draw in Germany might be counted as a moral victory?

I got Zora. beat better fighters and or/ put on a better show against them.

In a just world, Young would be in the HOF with wins over Ali, Foreman, Norton, and I think Shavers, too.

I'm going with him.
