I've already post it and you wouldn't even see it as many subjects are loading over everyday.

Easy night for Lennox. He knocks Jimmy out in 6 one sided rounds.

x2.

Lewis wins by decision in one of the most boring heavyweight fights ever.

I don't imagine much action, as Young would be focused on defense (surviving), and Lewis -- sensing that he can't easily hit the target - wouldn't throw many punches. Lennox would rely on his telephone pole left-jab to win almost all the rounds.

I've already post this subject before and I said this again, Lewis knocking out the prime Jimmy Young would be impossible because Young was slick and elusive, but Lewis would use his long left jabs and big right hands to outbox Young to take a decision.

Earnie Shavers knocked him out twice.

Shavers knocked out Young once, in 1973, when Jimmy lacked experience and was not yet a world class pro. Afterwards, Young improved, and fought Shavers to a ten round draw in 1974. I've read that many observers believe Young deserved the nod in that fight.

At his best, Young was extremely hard to hit, especially with power punches.

I think Lewis wins a UD but people who think he easily blows Young away are remembering maybe his fight with Cooney. A few years earlier he was a handful

It was Shavers knocking Young out once not twice.

If Shavers could do it, Lennox could do it. Lennox is a much better all around fighter than Shavers was, and would be patient enough to bide his time. He wouldn't be looking for the quick KO, he'd be content to outbox Young and let it come when it comes.

Lewis pts

Jimmy Young would lose by UD. Possible late round stoppage to Lennox Lewis.
