Why?

I think Lennox wins fairly handily but there are those who hold Jimmy Young in very high esteem and would pick him to make a fight of it.

I cannot see Young having the slightest chance against Lennow Lewis. Slippery yes, but too small and not having the punch stop Lewis from comming forward behind a long booming left hand.

While I'd favor Lewis, a prime Young was so slick that he would have been a decent challenge for just about anybody.

I can arrange that for you if you wish!


I don't count Jimmy Out.....I don't think the ref would either. And he has about an even chance of outpointing Lewis depending on just which version of these two gentlemen shows up to this hypothetical.

I don't think this is slam dunk material.

Jimmy Young on points. I think Young would give Lewis too much angles to deal with.

Well I could arrange for you to watch grass grow too, but I thing Young would have beat him easily. Hell, he beat Ali no matter what the judges said and a not far from prime Foreman easily. If any one out there thinks LennOX could whip either Ali or Foreman the way Jimmy did, I want some of what they are smoking! All in all it would be a BORING fight with Young winning rather easily!!!!

I think Young would hve outpointed him. Too too busy for Lewis, Young was like an eel and could fight at a much faster pace than Lewis
