    Young did not beat Ali. There should be no case for it. Talk about running the whole time. All Young was doing was trying to survive. the man cowered into the ropes more times then i can count.

      I had Young beating Ali. He was the one doing all the fighting. Ali was in terrible shape and just going through the motions.

        I understand that Jimmy Young was good and underrated but most of the other elites, the Ali's, Nortons, etc at the time owned young.
        How did he beat up on Foreman and why was it Fight of the Year? Was it close etc? Do some people think Foreman won? (I never saw the fight, any youtube videos ya'll know of?)
        I have a theory that Foreman is quite possibly the greatest HW of all time but I just can't see how Young whooped him.
        Foreman had started conversing with the Lord.. He wanted out at the time.. Until the Lord asked him to come back that is... I do believe he (God) said, it was his destiny
        And f**k me was 100% right!

          George was supposed to carry Young a few rounds to give the advertisers some air time, Turns out he tires and gets wooped. Thats what George said at least, I think he was just mentally shot after losing his unbeatable status from Ali.
