Much respect to Big George , this fight crystallizes what Ali said about him mostly being an arm swinging , telegraphing type fighter , if he had dug in to his punches and swung more from the hips he might have never lost and had a few decapations under his belt

Funny to notice that the ropes were also loose in this fight for Foreman lol PS : Jimmy Young had also a thing for him that nobody seem to really notice: Man he could take a punch, especially body punches ! ( if you watch his fight vs Norton, you'll understand what i mean ) If Young wouldn't have been considered as a defensive and "boring" fighter by the boxing buisness, he would have been easily a heavyweight champion in the late 70's. A great great fighter !

That’s why I get s kick out of people who say Foreman would have destroyed Holmes Lol… Look at Young’s jab giving George trouble and you don’t think Holmes jab wouldn’t ? Larry’s jab would close his eyes and Larry had good lateral movement and could throw the right hand off the jab as good as any fighter. Easy Work

[@wmden1]

I have it as pretty close to a draw, with George slightly ahead because he was the aggressor 99% of the time and more effective lands. Young got credit for a lot of punches that were just grazes or the crowd thought were good punches. Of course George got tired. He spent the whole fight chasing Young from one side of the ring to the other, and pushing him out of the clinches. George was tentative and should have just punched through Young's covers, from the start. I feel sure the Ali fight came to mind, for George, with the way young went to and leaned back against these loose ropes too. Body shots and a few upper cuts would have helped too. Young was not going to hurt him. No wonder George quit after this fight.

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

I had it as a draw as well. Young never hurt Foreman, Foreman hurt Young and nearly KO'd him. Recency bias of Young winning the last round (and probably the crowd) fooled the judges.

[@michaelmohrle1773]

I feel the same way, history has it Young beat Foreman like Ali but watching the whole fight it was a draw IMO.

[@jayedwards4787]

Just ridiculous - it was a unanimous decision .One judge had it 118-111, a lop- sided win for Young .Young easily won every round after the 7 th - 5 rounds ..This fight wasn’t even close and you think it was a draw ? …Young repeatedly hit Foreman with lead rights and combinations while Foreman landed little outside of the 7 th round .Foreman was a very limited fighter with no boxing skills and no stamina .If he didn’t land any heavy shots in the first few rounds, he was done .Any good boxer could clinch and move till Foreman was exhausted and easily beat him - like Ali and Young

To all you fools who keep saying Foreman would have destroyed Ali in a rematch in the mid-to-late '70s, did you just see THIS fight? Jimmy Young was a lesser boxer than Ali and even he was able to beat George on a unanimous decision. And all this false narrative talk about Foreman "had Ali in trouble" in Africa...GET REAL! Ali was never shaken by Foreman like Young was in the 7th round of this fight. As Ali said and Jimmy Young confirmed: If George hasn't knocked me out by Round 5, his parachute won't open. George was able to annihilate Frazier because he was short with a short reach so he had to got in close, therefore walking into Foreman's uppercuts. Ken Norton was NOTHING vs. Big Punchers (e.g., Ernie Shavers, Gerry Cooney), so, of course, Foreman devastated him. Ali had the height and reach that Frazier didn't have and the courage and chin Norton lacked. If Ali and Foreman fought 10 times in the '70s, Ali wins, at least, six. You people are never satisfied with Ali's performance and tactics vs. Big George. What was Ali supposed to do? Stick his chin out and let George hit it? SMH.

[@jayedwards4787]

Ali wins all those fights vs Foreman . Foreman was never going to hit Ali with his long telegraphed punches and never land successive shots. No one came close to a KO against Ali until his sad final years….Foreman was a very limited fighter with no defensive skills and no stamina , but most important, Foreman was a bully, his hero was Sonny Liston , so he was easily conned into punching himself out .All Foreman brought was a huge punch, for a few rounds , then he was impotent and pretty much helpless. Foreman went down more from exhaustion than the punches Ali and Young landed….Frazier beat Ali in the greatest hw fight ever, because he was a skilled fighter, was the best puncher of his era and had endless stamina and had no psychological problems …Frazier was never going to punch himself out or run out of gas . ..Frazier would have pummelled Young over the distance . A fighter like Frazier - pressure fighter with a punch and stamina -was a classic boxer’s worst nightmare …the classic boxer feasted on punchers like Foreman .

[@stilldreamin57]

After watching the Ali vs. Young fight I would think that there would have been some discussion on how Young got away with putting his head outside of the ring on several occasions? I can't find a word on it anywhere. To me, it was the most important part of the fight and why, IMO, Young should have been given a warning the first time, a point taken away the second time, and a disqualification the third time giving Ali the TKO. The ref, at one point earlier in the fight, started an 8 count, as if it was the equivalent of a knock-down, which I think it was. Those silly antics cost him the fight because it was clear Young out-fought Ali quite easily. Ali didn't land any power punches and only a few jabs and no one is a biger fan of Ali than me, but he didn't win but for Youngs cowardly antics.

[@ironbarboxing7509]

Young clearly out boxed big George and he clearly out boxed Ali but with regard to Ali back in the day you really would have to beat the champ badly before the judges would give you the win.

Big George made a tactical mistake in the early rounds, he should have focused in on body punches on Young and really pressured Jimmy. Young was fighting a purely defensive fight and keeping his head out of range which left his body wide open for George to pound on. By trying to hit Young's head Big george wasted too much energy and no payoff, leaving him with no energy left again ala the Ali fight and ripe for Youngs late round rally.
