Kwaz, I remember that fight well. Jimmy Young was big and so deceptively quick. Remember he had the perfect style to counter Ali, and it was such a surprise, he was such a big underdog? But you're right, he probably should have won the decision.
That was such a great time for the heavyweight division. Man it's dead now , but remember what you had going on at that time? Ali, Young, Frazier, Foremen, Jimmy Ellis, Ernie (the Acorn) Shavers, Oscar Ringo Bonevena, Ken Norton, even Jerry Quarry. Man there was a great heavyweight fight every month.
I figured you would remember Marv.
Yeah,Jimmy Young surprised alot of people and didnt get the breaks he deserved.You are right about that era.Cant compare the bums around now with the heavyweights back then.
