* I'm not so sure Frazier would go through Young like tissue<br />
paper. Jimmy Young had an uncanny ability to adjust to the style<br />
of his opponent and he had very clever/awkward moves that<br />
confused some very great fighters, including Ali, Foreman and<br />
Norton. A 1971 Frazier would beat a 1977 Young, but it might not<br />
be as easy as going through tissue paper. After Young lost the<br />
decision to Ali, he began a string of impressive fights, which<br />
ended when he came in out of shape and lost to Ossie Ocasio<br />
twice. But during his period of excellence, he was superb. I don't<br />
think he would be knocked out by anyone---and would always<br />
have a chance to steal a decision.***It's just that I don't see Young<br />
having the skills to defeat Frazier. George Foreman was the only man who wasn't<br />
forced to fight Frazier's fight, and everyone else, Ali included, were basically<br />
just trying to hold him off. <strong>The</strong> only two ways to do that were to outpunch or<br />
outslug him, or to blanket his perimeters with an awesome bag of different<br />
tricks. Young had neither. He couldn't punch, and while tricky, wasn't in Ali's<br />
league in this regard, when it came to dealing with an irresistable machine like<br />
Frazier.|<br />

1990 thru 1995, I was a regular at the Boxing Hall of Fame Weekend at Canastoga<br />
NY. Archie Moore was a regular. And I can state categorically that he was not<br />
"notoriously punchy," he was not even a little punchy. He was sharp, witty, and<br />
well dressed each of the years he was there. Now I can't speak for Archie's<br />
health the year leading up to his death, but he was fine in 1995, and I was<br />
around him the whole weekend. It must be remembered that Archie was well into<br />
his eighties when he died. Charles Bronson who recently died had alzheimers at<br />
the time of his death|<br />

state that I met Sandy Saddler when he was well on in years, a few years before<br />
his death. He was as sharp as a tack. Not only did he remember his opponents, he<br />
remembered what happened in specific rounds of his fight with them. He spoke<br />
clearly, logically, and had no recall problem. He was also a perfect gentleman<br />
and very polite to my wife. |<br />

procedure to become a professional boxer ? Can any amateur fighter become a pro<br />
whenever he wants or must he demonstrate to be strong enough winning Golden<br />
Gloves or other tournaments ? Thanks|<br />

remember seeing interviews with Archie Moore not too long before his death. I<br />
have to say he was sharper than most people his age. He was an amazing guy all<br />
around.By the way, this one isn't a dream matchup, but instead a fantasy<br />
fight between a Champion who is a footnote and a Contenter who never became a<br />
Champion: Who would win a contest between Cooney vs. Buster Douglas?<br />
Personally, I think it would be an interesting fight. I find it difficult to<br />
pick a winner. What about Cooney vs. Hasim Rahman or Douglas vs. Rahman? Could<br />
anyone see any of these fights going the distance?|<br />
