    Riddick Bowe vs Holyfield 1. He had other good nights, but on that night, he could have beaten just about anybody.

    Mickey Ward in the first Gatti fight.

    You could argue that he had two great nights against Ali and Foreman although I had not watched either fight.

    He never had a great night against Muhammad Ali both men didn't fight too well, especially Muhammad Ali who was very out of shape at 230+ pounds. But Young deserved the nod against Ali though no question IMO.

    But Jimmy Young fought a great fight against George Foreman no question, he got badly hurt in the 7th round and comeback to floor Foreman in the last round.

    Jimmy Young was great in that fight. Fought off the back foot superb.

    I`ll upload if you like. Make no mistake as old as Ali was he still took some beating and Young was fire that night in 76.

    TBH as good if not better than beating an unintrested out of shape Foreman.

    The Young v Norton fight was a WAR, Kenny shaved a SD.
