Prime vs Prime, I think Bonecrusher takes this. Can't see Berbick hurting him, but I definitely could see Bonecrusher hurting Trevor bad. Smith anywhere from 2nd to 6th round kayo or stoppage.
Berbick. Smith has the big punch, but Berbick, I have established in a previous thread, has several more good attributes. Smith is tough w/ a big punch, but has showed poor stamina in long contests, is far too inactive, slow, immobile, and does not have a world-class jab. Berbick trumps him in every area but power, but Berbick can still punch. Berbick would beat Smith up with his pressure. Smith might be able to hurt Berbick in the late rounds w/ huge shots, but it would be too late, and Berbick would survive to win by UD. Terribly one-sided contest imo. I wouldn't make a habit of heavily favoring Trevor Berbick in any fight, but I would have him a 4-1 favorite in this fight. Smith was just awful; he never beat a tough fighter in his life.
Smith beat Witherspoon. Ribalta, Weaver.. these guys are decent and 2 of them former champs... Smith was slow and turned pro late.. he had a bit of the dog in him I believe but not as bad as the above poster thinks he is
i thought they were good, but Spoon was fat as a hog and Weaver was old; I thought they were impressive knockouts, but neither 1st round knockout has a lot of depth to it; hell, Weaver was 35 or 36 and had been inside the squared circle for 14 yrs. up 2 that point
