How do you guys see this one playing out ?

Peak for peak....

Johnson as a 177-180lbs Heavyweight.

Young as a 210lb slick boxer.



Vs

Johnson by UD.

Young wasn't as good vs fast slick boxers like he was vs the boxer-punchers like Lyle, Shavers, and Foreman (and the version of Ali he faced was neither slick nor fast)

Johnson by split for mine. He isn't going to like Young one bit, & will struggle to string consecutive rounds together. Still, his class (he was a cut or two above Young, but a full division smaller) would win out.

I would not be shocked, however, if Young beat him. Both are under-rated, but Johnson especially.

Finally, thanks to sicko collins, a different picture of harold.

Johnson takes him IMO.

Johnson looks in such good shape in that pic with Louis.
