    Witherspoon by decision or late stoppage

    He's bigger, stronger, more power, better defense.

    Bigger? Prime spoon weighed 210-212 prime peak holyfield 209 .but i give you that spoon was naturally bigger. stronger? I doubt it evander was
    really strong and ripped like hell.he got the better chin too. Evander is greater and more skilled. Spoon is naturally bigger and got a little more power

    Spoon proves to be a tough test, but Holyfield's superior skill, conditioning, heart and work rate sees him through to a decision.

    Witherspoon was like 220 for Holmes

    Holyfield got noticeably bigger in the 1992-1993 time frame when his hair started falling out. He wasn't as big in 1988-1991 time frame.

    Holyfield finds a way through. What a fun fight that would have been.

    Holyfield weighed 209 in 1991 against foreman and he was around the same weight vs holmes in 1992.

    No case for Witherspoon here. He was a smidge away from top level, but not quite there. No stylistic advantage. Can't really back him against a seasoned Holyfield.

    look at his frame and muscular after the Cooper fight. He got noticeably more muscular. And went bald. This is the time frame from which the PED rumours started.

    He was leaner in the period during which he fought Dokes, Tillis, Douglas, Foreman and Cooper.

    Stop with this two year old baby****. You lie all the time, yet you don't think anybody will call you out for it. You can't have it both ways. I'd appreciate a response on my other thread.

    He changed his body from 1988 yes. But in 1991 he was equal and even better than he was in 1992. And go and check. He weighed 209 for foreman in 1991 and 210 for holmes in 1992.if you say that he was much bigger and different weighing 1-2 pounds more ok...
