Comeback George Foreman vs. Jimmy Young 1987/1988

Post by scorpio83 »

10 or 12 Rounds Heavyweight Bout

They fought in 1977 with Young frustrating Foreman for an upset win and sent Foreman into a 10-year retirement. When Foreman made a comeback in 1987 while Young was on his way out. If Foreman fought the fading Young, I believe that Foreman would land more jabs and heavy punches to take a revenge win over Young with a decision. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Foreman wins by clear decision. Young was merely a shadow of his former self by the late 1980s, and would have been thumped around the ring by George's long left-jabs.
